About this map

Cool Springs and the surrounding Piedmont landscape are defined by a network of waterways that converge near the tri-county junction of Iredell, Davie, and Rowan counties. The South Yadkin River carves across the northern reaches, joined by tributaries like Fifth Cr and Little Cr. To the south, the terrain is segmented by Fourth Creek and Third Creek, reflecting the traditional drainage patterns that historically influenced settlement and agriculture in this part of North Carolina.

Modern transport and rural industry are visible through the inclusion of the Double Creek Ranch Airport and a dense network of local roads such as Third Creek Church Rd and Woodleaf Rd. The map also captures several established communities, including Mount Vernon and Needmore, alongside the Scotch-Irish Plantation Lake, which preserves the name of the region's early eighteenth-century settlers. This 2016 record provides a clear view of how these historic rural hubs have evolved into the contemporary residential and farming landscape.
