About this map

Thomasville and the neighboring community of Fair Grove anchor this region along the border of Davidson Co and Randolph Co. The landscape is a network of small settlements and family-named homesteads connected by a dense grid of secondary roads like Fisher Ferry St Exd and Old Raleigh Rd. The drainage of the Little Uwharrie River and its tributaries, including Hamby Cr and Brier Cr, shapes the topography south of the developed corridors.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of several community burial grounds, such as Andrews Grove Cem, Mills Home Cem, and Emanuel Cem. The presence of small aviation facilities like Hiatt Airport and Quiet Acres Airport highlights the mix of residential growth and rural infrastructure. Smaller named locales like Johnsontown, Glen Anna, and Walser indicate the long-standing community clusters that define this portion of the North Carolina Piedmont.
