About this map

Denton anchors the southern portion of this landscape where the Piedmont terrain begins to rise into several prominent peaks. The area is defined by its small, traditional settlements such as Silver Valley and Cid, which are connected by a network of rural roads like Old State Hwy 109 and Old US Hwy 64. These routes trace the contours between local heights including Crouse Mtn, Prickly Pear Mtn, and Steep Rock Mtn.

Local heritage is preserved in sites like the Cedar Springs Cem and small rural congregations at Canaan Church and Ebel Church. The geography is further carved by numerous watercourses, including Lick Cr and Jackson Creek, which flow toward the Davidson Co and Randolph Co border. This survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and natural topography of the North Carolina interior in the early 21st century.
