2016 Map of Browns Summit

About this map

Browns Summit and Monticello anchor the northern reaches of this Guilford County landscape, where rural communities meet the expanding northern outskirts of Greensboro. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Reedy Fork and Buffalo Cr, creating a series of impoundments including Lake Townsend, Hardys Mill Pond, and Lake Herman. These water bodies, alongside smaller features like Brooks Lake and Smothers Lake, illustrate the region's managed water network. Genealogical interest is centered on family and community landmarks such as Phibbs Cem and Green Hall Cem, as well as the larger Lakeview Memorial Park further south. The map documents the residential development patterns along Mcleansville Rd and Old Reidsville Rd, showing the transition from crossroads settlements like Rudd and Lakewood into a more integrated suburban corridor north of the city center.
