About this map

High Rock Lake defines the western edge of this landscape, its irregular shoreline reaching into the countryside near Southmont. To the east, the terrain rises toward the summits of Grist Mountain and Three Hat Mtn, marking a transition from the lakeside settlements to the more elevated interior of Davidson County. Small communities like Cedar Grove and Silver Hill are connected by a network of rural roads, including Bethany Rd and Jerusalem Rd, which trace the historical movement of residents between local farms and family homesteads.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific sites such as Workman Cem and Owens Cem, alongside the Brown Loflin Bridge crossing the water. The drainage patterns of Flat Swamp Cr and Fourmile Br illustrate how the natural topography has influenced local development and road placement through the decades. This 2016 survey provides a precise look at the modern layout of Denton and its surrounding rural outskirts.
