About this map

Eagle Mills and the surrounding crossroads communities of Iredell and Yadkin counties are documented in this 2010 survey, showcasing a landscape defined by small-town hubs and agricultural drainages. The map traces the winding paths of North Little Hunting Creek and Hunting Creek, which historically supported the milling operations that gave the area its name. Local genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-centered landmarks and community burial grounds, including Asbury Cemetery, Shiloh Cemetery, and Zion Cemetery.

Modern infrastructure, represented by the Interstate 77 corridor, cuts through a network of older thoroughfares such as Hamptonville Rd and Sloans Mill Rd. The map illustrates the persistent structure of rural North Carolina, where names like Brooks Crossroads, Windsors Crossroads, and Buck Shoals represent long-standing points of local commerce and social gathering. From the banks of Parks Lake to the scattered settlements of Union Grove and Houstonville, the survey provides a clear view of the region's late-twentieth-century geography.
