1993 Map of Farrington

About this map

B. Everett Jordan Lake dominates the eastern landscape of this Chatham County region, where the reservoir's fingers reach into the valleys once carved by Morgan Creek and Bush Creek. The map reflects a landscape in transition during the early 1990s, where the expansion of Farrington Village and proximity to the Orange County line signal suburban growth amidst older rural fixtures. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the numerous congregations and family burial grounds scattered throughout the hills, including Forest Grove Chapel, Mt Zion Church, and the Manns Chapel Cemetery. West of the lake, the high ground of Bennett Mountain and the dense Big Woods provide a stark contrast to the developed corridors. This survey provides a precise look at the road networks and water levels just before the turn of the twenty-first century.
