About this map

B Everett Jordan Lake dominates the southeastern quadrant of this terrain where the Piedmont hills meet the lowlands of the Haw River valley. This 2019 survey captures the modern residential character of the corridor between Chapel Hill and Fearrington, showcasing established communities and newer developments like Briar Chapel. The landscape is defined by several prominent rises, including Edwards Mtn and Bennett Mtn, which separate the various drainage basins of Morgan Creek and Herndon Creek.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by long-standing landmarks such as Manns Chapel Cem and the Riggsbee Cem. The map reveals a high density of named water features like Pritchard Mill Br and Price Creek, indicating a land historically defined by its watercourses long before the modern expansion of Farrington and Bells. The transition from rural roads like Damascus Church Rd to the suburban street networks of Fearrington Village reflects the ongoing evolution of these North Carolina counties.
