About this map

Dobson serves as the focal point for this survey of Surry County, North Carolina, situated in a landscape defined by the winding course of the Fisher River and its many tributaries. The area shows a transition toward more modern suburban development at the start of the 21st century, with established residential areas like Holly View Forest-Highland Park and the intersection of major roadways near White Plains.

Genealogists and local historians can find several important burial grounds, including White Plains Cemetery, Dobson Cemetery, and Union Cemetery to the southeast. The map details a complex network of local roads and trails, such as Old Dunbar Ridge Trl and Turkey Trot Trl, which connect smaller communities like New Hope and Red Brush. Significant geographic landmarks like Stott Knob and Turner Mountain rise above the river valleys, marking the local topography alongside water features like Doggett Lake Dam and Hawks Lake Dam.
