About this map

Revolution Mill and the industrial corridors of northeast Greensboro define the urban character of this mid-2010s survey. The map details a landscape deeply influenced by its manufacturing and textile heritage, showing the proximity of workers' neighborhoods like Revolution, White Oak, and Proximity to the water-dependent industrial sites along N Buffalo Cr. This era shows a fully matured city where historic neighborhoods like Fisher Park and Westerwood sit alongside institutional anchors such as N Carolina A & T State Univ and Greensboro Coll.

To the west and south, the terrain shifts into specialized districts like Terra Cotta and Pomona, while established residential pockets such as Latham Town and Sedge-Town are framed by a network of modern thoroughfares like Joseph M Bryan Blvd. Significant hydrological features, including Philadelphia Mill Reservoir and Buffalo Lake, highlight the essential relationship between the city's early industry and the forks of the Buffalo Creek system.
