About this map

B Everett Jordan Lake dominates the eastern landscape of this area south of Chapel Hill, where the modern footprint of Fearrington Village and Fearrington meets the older rural geography of Chatham and Orange counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Edwards Mtn, Bennett Mtn, and Boothe Hill, separated by a network of creeks such as Herndon Cr and Cub Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family landmarks and community sites, including Manns Chapel Cem and Riggsbee Cem. The map illustrates the contemporary residential growth along corridors like Briar Chapel Pkwy, contrasting with the more established hamlets of Farrington and Bells. The southern boundary follows the path of the Haw River, highlighting the transition from upland ridges to the expansive water of the reservoir.
