2010 Map of Colon

About this map

The Deep River and Rocky River converge in the northern portion of this map, defining a landscape shaped by significant watercourses and early industrial infrastructure. Evidence of former industry is found along Iron Furnace Rd near Cumnock, while the local economy's history is further reflected in the naming of Copper Mine Creek to the east. Residential growth is evident in several named communities and subdivisions such as Glenwood Village, Highland Acres, and Stoneybrook, which surround the modern transit corridors of the Sanford Bypass. Genealogists may find interest in the Farmville Cemetery near the settlement of Farmville. The map also details water management features like the Sky View Lake Dam and the Holiday Lake Dam Lower, illustrating the role of managed reservoirs in the Lee County landscape.
