1997 Map of Bethany

About this map

Troublesome Creek and its many tributaries, including Huffines Mill Creek and Rock House Creek, dominate the rural topography of this Rockingham County landscape. The settlement pattern is defined by several prominent junctions such as Wittys Crossroads, Bakers Crossroads, and the village of Bethany. The southern edge of the sheet follows the Haw River along the boundary with Guilford County, where Glencoe Ch sits just north of the water. Local social life is anchored by numerous country churches, including Antioch Ch, Smyrna Ch, and Sharon Ch. A local High Sch and Water Tank at Bethany indicate the community's development by the late 20th century. Utility infrastructure is noted by a prominent network of pipelines running north-to-south through the center of the survey area.
