About this map

The boundary between Warren Co and Franklin Co defines the northern edge of this Piedmont landscape, where several small communities are connected by a network of rural routes. The settlements of Gupton, Alert, and Gold Sand serve as local hubs, while White Level anchors the southeastern corner. This area is characterized by a dense drainage system of creeks and branches, including the significant Sandy Creek and Isinglass Cr which carve through the undulating terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can find family names preserved in the local infrastructure, such as Persons Bridge and numerous roads like Ed Faulkner Rd and Harris Jones Rd. The map also includes Highland Memory Gardens, a notable landmark for those tracing local lineages. The transportation patterns, including the prominent stretch of Gold Sand Rd, reveal the historical connectivity of these North Carolina tobacco-country townships.
