2010 Map of Dawson Crossroads

About this map

Crowells Crossroads and Dawson Crossroads anchor this rural landscape in Halifax County, reflecting a classic North Carolina agricultural layout defined by scattered homesteads and family cemeteries. The terrain is marked by the slow-moving waters of Conoconnara Swamp and Hales Millpond Branch, which dictate the winding paths of local roads such as Sorietown Rd and Thirteen Bridges Rd. For those researching local families, the presence of Hales Cemetery, Westray Cemetery, and Pittman Cemetery provides specific points of interest for genealogical study. The area maintains its rural character with modern adaptations, including the private landing strip at Dunroamin Farms Airport. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistence of traditional land divisions, where large agricultural tracts are accessed by family-named routes like Douglas Hill Farm Rd and W W Cotton Farm Rd.
