2019 Map of Cool Springs

About this map

Cool Springs and Mount Vernon anchor a landscape defined by the intersection of three North Carolina counties: Iredell, Rowan, and Davie. The South Yadkin River flows across the northern reaches of the quadrangle, joined by a network of significant waterways including Fifth Creek, Fourth Creek, and Third Creek. This modern survey reveals a rural area where legacy land use is still evident in features like the Scotch-Irish Plantation Lake, hinting at the region's deeper settlement history. Local infrastructure is marked by the presence of Double Creek Ranch Airport in the southwest and a transition to more concentrated road networks near the small community of Needmore. The terrain is crisscrossed by roads named for historical landmarks and families, such as Davie Academy Rd and Byerlys Chapel Rd, reflecting the community-oriented development of the Piedmont region.
