2013 Map of Handy

About this map

The Piedmont Upland landscape of Davidson County is characterized by a network of rural settlements and winding tributaries that define the local topography. At the center of this area, Handy sits at a prominent crossroads, while other localized hubs like Complex, Martha, and New Hope anchor the surrounding countryside. The map reveals a dense web of family-named roads and thoroughfares, such as Klopman Mill Rd and Piedmont School Rd, suggesting the historical importance of local industry and education to these small communities. In the southwest corner, the shoreline of Badin Lake introduces a significant aquatic feature, where the waters of Beaverdam Creek and Alls Fork converge. The intricate drainage patterns of Toms Creek and Cabin Creek further illustrate the rolling nature of this North Carolina terrain as it appeared in the early 21st century.
