About this map

Burlington serves as the central hub of this Piedmont landscape, surrounded by a dense network of residential subdivisions and local industry as it appeared in 2010. The geographic character is defined by the Haw River and its various tributaries, including Little Alamance Creek and Big Alamance Creek, which carve through the terrain south of the urban center. Significant transportation corridors, particularly the interstate running east-west, separate the northern residential districts from southern landmarks like the Burlington Municipal Airport.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several established burial grounds, such as Pine Hill Cemetery and Northlawn Cemetery, situated near the older developed cores. The map also documents localized water features and recreational spaces, including Snoffers Lake and the Shamrock Golf Course. Smaller named communities like Glen Raven, Hopedale, and Granite Village show the historical footprint of mill-influenced settlements that have since integrated into the broader suburban expansion of Alamance County.
