2016 Map of Efland

About this map

The town of Efland and the eastern edge of Mebane anchor this study of the North Carolina Piedmont during the mid-2010s. The landscape is defined by its complex water network, including the Eno River, New Hope Cr, and several significant reservoirs like Lake Michael and Orange-Alamance Lake. Transportation is dominated by the corridor of the Ncrr railroad and the modern highway system, while older rural patterns persist in the surrounding areas. Smaller settlements like Miles and family-named landmarks like Larry F Warren Field sit alongside numerous creek-valley drainages such as Sevenmile Cr and Crabtree Cr. Genealogists will find notable points of interest in the County Home Cem, Rosewood Cem, and Cross Roads Cem, which mark long-standing community centers and burial grounds within this transition zone between urban expansion and rural forest land.
