2010 Map of Farrington

About this map

B. Everett Jordan Lake dominates the eastern landscape of this quadrangle south of Chapel Hill, where the expansive water body meets a network of wooded hills and rising residential development. The 2010 terrain shows a transition from the rolling elevations of Bennett Mountain and Edwards Mountain toward the shoreline settlements of Farrington and Bells. Historically significant sites for genealogists include Manns Chapel Cemetery and Riggsbee Cemetery, which sit among a modernized road network including the Briar Chapel Pkwy. A notable landmark of modern infrastructure is the American Telephone and Telegraph Company Airport, situated near the planned community of Fearrington Village. This era represents a period of significant growth where rural Piedmont landscapes were being shaped by suburban expansion and large-scale water management projects.
