2010 Map of Belews Lake

About this map

Belews Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape, its intricate shoreline created by the impoundment of Belews Creek and West Belews Creek. The industrial character of the region is anchored by the Belews Creek Dam and the heavy infrastructure near Duke Power Steam Plant Rd. To the north, the Dan River meanders past the settlements of Pine Hall and Ceramic, where the terrain transitions from the utility-focused lakefront to a mix of wooded creek valleys and agricultural plots. This 2010 survey highlights a community balancing large-scale power generation with traditional rural landmarks. Local history is preserved at the Eden Cemetery and Mount Zion Cemetery, while recreational areas like the Riverview Golf Course and Boy Scout Pond occupy the spaces between the river and the sprawling reservoir.
