About this map

The Haw River and its numerous tributaries, including Little Alamance Cr and Big Alamance Cr, define the drainage of this suburban and rural landscape. In this 2013 edition, the density of residential subdivisions such as Sherwood Forest, Glen Raven, and Dogwood Acres illustrates the decades of growth surrounding the core of Burlington. The southern portion of the map transitions into a more open landscape where Alamance and Bellemont sit amidst larger tracts of land and specialized sites like the Burlington-Alamance Regional Airport.

Local recreational and community landmarks are clearly visible, from the Shamrock Golf Course to several small impoundments like Shoffners Lake and Mays Lake. The heavy infrastructure of Interstate 85 and Interstate 40 cuts through the center, showing the modern transportation corridor that replaced earlier colonial and industrial routes. Smaller named places like Kellam Place and The Farm offer specific points of interest for local history researchers and genealogists tracing family lands.
