1978 Map of Farrington

About this map

B. Everett Jordan Lake dominates the eastern landscape of this North Carolina survey, representing a significant transformation of the Haw River valley. Blue-hatched areas on the map indicate land intended to be submerged by the reservoir, illustrating the impact on the local geography and the shift toward modern water management in the late 1970s. The terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as Edwards Mountain and Boothe Hill, interspersed with a network of established community landmarks. Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural religious centers, including Mt Carmel Ch and Forest Grove Chapel, alongside family-named burial grounds like Manns Chapel Cem and Riggsbee Cem. The map captures the quiet transition of settlements like Farrington and Bells as they adapted to the rising waters of the newly formed lake.
