About this map

University of North Carolina Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University anchor the central landscape of this urban study, which details the sprawling residential and industrial development that shaped the city by the early 21st century. The map reveals a complex network of neighborhoods including Piedmont Heights, Friendly Acres, and Starmount Forest, interspersed with legacy institutions like the Masonic Home. The industrial history of the region is evidenced by features like the Revolution Mill Reservoir, a remnant of the textile economy that once dominated the area around Revolution and McAdoo Heights.

Hydrography plays a significant role in the urban plan, with North Buffalo Creek and South Buffalo Creek carving through the terrain, flanked by numerous small impoundments such as Buffalo Lake and Lake Hamilton. These waterways are surrounded by established open spaces including the Green Hill Cemetery and Nocho Park Golf Course. The convergence of major transit corridors like Joseph Bryan Blvd and W Wendover Ave W illustrates the modern infrastructure supporting this Piedmont hub.
