About this map

John H Kerr Reservoir dominates the landscape of this Halifax County border region, where the Dan River and Roanoke River converge. The topography is defined by the complex aquatic network of the Hyco River and numerous tributaries such as Hogan Creek and Aarons Creek. For those researching local family history, the map provides a high concentration of burial sites, including the Buffalo Tabernacle Cemetery, Snead Cemetery, and White Oak Fork Cemetery.

Small communities and rural junctions like Buffalo Springs, Dryburg, and High Hill serve as the primary settlement points. The map also records specialized land use, from the Big River Ranch Airport near the riverbanks to Clays Quarry and the Eastern Pines Dam. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of the Virginia-North Carolina line, preserved even as the large reservoir altered the original river valleys.
