2016 Map of Bethany

About this map

Wentworth and the surrounding rural communities of Rockingham County characterize this landscape at the edge of the Guilford County line. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several notable drainage systems, including the southward-flowing Haw River and the meandering paths of Troublesome Creek and Huffines Mill Creek. Small-scale aviation is represented by the Mountain View Aerodrome, while the road network connects established rural centers like Bethany, Midway, and Bakers Crossroads. This area demonstrates a persistent pattern of rural North Carolina settlement, where crossroads communities serve as anchors for family farms and timber tracts. Researchers will find numerous namesake roads and geographic features such as Rock House Creek and Simpsons Lake that reflect long-standing local history and land ownership in the Piedmont region.
