About this map

The West Fork Deep River and Deep River form a natural corridor through this bustling region of the Piedmont, where the suburban growth of High Point and Greensboro meets the northern edge of the Guilford Co and Randolph Co line. This landscape is a center of higher education and civic life, featuring the campuses of High Point University, John Wesley University, and Guilford Technical Community College. Local history is anchored by the Guilford County Courthouse High Point and traditional neighborhoods like Melbourne Heights and Oakdale.

Tracing the waterways reveals numerous small lakes and creeks, including Richland Cr and Muddy Cr, which define the local drainage patterns. The map records a dense network of smaller communities such as Allen Jay, Bakertown, and Springfield, alongside significant local landmarks like Hayworth Spring and Freeman Mill. The concentration of cemeteries, including Green Hill Cem and Gardens of Guilford Cem, provides valuable points of reference for genealogical research in this long-settled part of North Carolina.
