About this map

Greensboro serves as a dense hub of educational and industrial history, anchored by major institutions like the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. The city's growth is traced through its distinct neighborhoods, from the historic Fisher Park and Irving Park to industrial-era settlements like Proximity and East White Oak. These areas developed around the textile economy, evidenced by landmarks like the Proximity Mills Cem and the Revolution Mill Reservoir.

The landscape is further defined by the Norfolk Southern rail lines and the branching waters of Buffalo Cr. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds, including the expansive Green Hill Cem and the Westminster Gardens Cem and Crematory. From the Guilford County Courthouse outward to smaller communities like Latham Town and Vandalia, the map captures a mature urban core integrated with its Piedmont surroundings.
