About this map

South Yadkin River and its numerous tributaries, including Hunting Creek, Fourth Creek, and Third Creek, define the topography of this central North Carolina landscape. The historic importance of water power is evident at the Frohock Mill site and the Cooleemee Dam, while the rail influence is preserved at Cooleemee Junction. Small rural hubs such as Woodleaf, Jerusalem, and Davie Crossroads anchor the road network, connecting long-standing agricultural lands and community centers like Ephesus.

The map reveals a transition from industrial and milling history to contemporary recreation, seen at Foxwood Golf Course and private impoundments like Daniels Lake and Hoffners Lake. Named roads, such as Jericho Church Rd, Turrentine Church Rd, and Saint Andrews Church Rd, point to the area’s deep-rooted social and ecclesiastical history, providing valuable clues for local researchers and genealogists tracing early family settlements.
