2022 Map of Ayersville

About this map

The rolling borderlands of the North Carolina Piedmont come to life in this detailed survey, where the Stokes and Rockingham county line bisects a landscape of winding creeks and rural settlements. Centered around Ayersville, the map reveals a community anchored by spiritual and ancestral sites, including the Ayersville Baptist Church Cemetery and Mount Hermon United Methodist Church Cemetery. To the west, the terrain is shaped by the drainage of Ugly Branch and Blackies Branch, leading down toward the southern corridor where the Dan River flows near the town of Madison. The road network, including family-named routes like Noel Martin Road and Ralph Joyce Road, illustrates the deep-rooted local history and parcel divisions of this region near the Virginia state line. This modern record preserves the locations of numerous historic burying grounds, such as Buffalo Cemetery and Bethesda Cemetery, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in this part of North Carolina.
