About this map

The Deep River and its major tributaries, including Richland Creek and Muddy Creek, define the rolling topography of this region on the border of Guilford and Randolph counties. The urban expansion of High Point is visible in the northwest, transitioning into established neighborhoods such as Melbourne Heights, Sherwood Village, and Bakertown. The map documents a dense network of local institutions essential to genealogical research, from the High Point College East Campus and William Penn High Sch to historical burial grounds like Green Hill Cem and Emma Blair Cem.

Further south and east, the landscape becomes increasingly rural, dotted with crossroads communities like Kirkman Crossroads and Miles Crossroads. Religious life is anchored by landmarks such as Friendly Ch, Fairfield Ch, and Deep River Tabernacle. The inclusion of small-scale infrastructure, like the High Point Sewage Disposal and the Davis Field airstrip, alongside early residential developments in Archdale and Trinity, provides a clear view of the area's mid-to-late 20th-century growth patterns.
