About this map

Hollemans Crossroads and Cokesbury anchor this region of central North Carolina, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Cape Fear River and the significant footprint of the Shearon Harris Reservoir. The topography is marked by numerous water control projects, including Buckhorn Dam and the smaller Dewars Pond, reflecting a mid-to-late 20th-century emphasis on hydroelectric infrastructure and water management.

Old transport corridors like Avent Ferry Rd and Rex Rd intersect at small settlements such as Dennis Crossroads, preserving the rural crossroads character of the area even as newer infrastructure, such as the New Landfill Dr, appears on the fringes. The network of creeks, including Buckhorn Creek and Parkers Creek, creates a dendritic drainage pattern that historically dictated the placement of farms and small communities like Corinth.
