2016 Map of Danbury

About this map

The Dan River winds through the heart of Stokes County, defining the local geography as it flows past the historic county seat of Danbury. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape of high ridges and narrow creek valleys, dominated in the south by the prominent rise of Flat Shoal Mtn. Small settlements such as Lawsonville, Snow Hill, and Hartman are connected by a network of rural roads that often trace the spines of these ridges, such as Snow Hill Church Rd and Chestnut Ridge Ln. The area is notably dense with water features, from the Buck Island Bridge crossing to numerous small impoundments like Stedman Lake, Scott Lake, and Camelot Woods Lake. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Little Snow Cr, Mill Cr, and Sandy Run carving the terrain into a complex system of hollows and heights that has shaped the region's development for generations.
