About this map

Fearrington Village and the community of Fearrington serve as central points in this landscape where the Piedmont hills meet the sprawling waters of B Everett Jordan Lake. The terrain is defined by several prominent elevations, including Bennett Mountain, Edwards Mountain, and Lambeth Mountain, which overlook a network of small creeks and private water bodies like Cedar Village Lake and King Pond. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern residential development of the area south of Chapel Hill, where winding roads like Damascus Church Rd and Briar Chapel Pkwy thread through wooded ridges.

The eastern edge of the map is dominated by the jagged shoreline of the lake, created by the impoundment of the Haw River and its tributaries such as Morgan Cr and Pokeberry Cr. To the south, the settlement of Bells sits near the lake's edge, reflecting the region's shift from rural agriculture to a landscape centered on conservation and suburban growth. Numerous family-named landmarks and historical watercourses like Pritchard Mill Cr and Jones Br remain as vestiges of the area's earlier land use.
