2022 Map of Cana

About this map

Saint Pauls Church of the Brethren and several primitive Baptist congregations anchor the social fabric of this rural landscape along the Virginia-North Carolina border. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Pauls Creek and Lovills Creek, with the prominent Blue Ridge Parkway tracing the high ground to the west. This 2022 survey reveals a dense concentration of family burial grounds, such as the Nathaniel Samuel Jones Family Cem and the King Family Cem, illustrating deep genealogical roots and long-held family land tracts. The presence of these small, scattered cemeteries alongside established landmarks like Flower Gap suggests a community that has maintained its traditional settlement patterns even as modern infrastructure like the N Andy Griffith Pkwy connects the region to larger centers. Near the southern boundary, City Lake and Dry Lake represent more recent water management in this creek-veined corner of Carroll County.
