2022 Map of Efland

About this map

Efland serves as the central hub of this modern survey, situated along the busy transportation corridor that bisects Orange County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several significant regional waterways, including the Eno River to the northeast and New Hope Cr to the south. The proximity of the Mebane municipal border on the western edge highlights the ongoing suburban transition in this part of North Carolina, where residential developments like those surrounding Crystal Lake and Orange-Alamance Lake are interspersed with older landmarks. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved amidst the shifting land use, including County Home Cem and Cross Roads Cem. The terrain is complex, with numerous small tributaries like Sevenmile Cr and Turkey Hill Cr carving through the Piedmont hills, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have influenced local settlement since the early days of the county.
