About this map

The Deep River and Rocky River converge in the northern reaches of this landscape, defining the topography of Lee County during the early 21st century. The map reveals a dense network of residential developments and established communities south of the river bend, including Glenwood Village, Highland Acres, and Hawkins Run. These neighborhoods are situated near the modern transit corridor that bypasses the older settlement of Colon.

Aviation and industrial history are present through features like the Moretz Riverside Landing Airport along the riverbank and Copper Mine Cr to the northeast. The geography is characterized by several smaller water bodies such as Sky View Lake and Holiday Lake, while the local road network, featuring names like Zion Church Rd and Chatham Church Rd, provides clues to the area's social and community foundations. The transition from the rural northern river bottoms to the suburban expansion near Forest Hills illustrates the evolving character of the region.
