About this map

High Point serves as the focal point for this Piedmont landscape at the start of the 21st century, showing the dense suburban development and transportation corridors that define the region. The map captures the significant expansion of educational institutions, including the campus of High Point University and Guilford Tec Comm College. Residential growth is evident in established and emerging neighborhoods like Sherwood Village, Melbourne Heights, and Bakertown, which contrast with the older industrial and mill-based character of Jamestown and Oakdale.

The drainage patterns of the Deep River and its tributaries, including Richland Creek and Muddy Creek, remain visible despite the heavy infrastructure of the Norfolk Southern railroad and numerous highway interchanges. In the southern portion of the sheet, the transition into Randolph County features more dispersed landmarks such as the Deep River Tabernacle and the community of Glenola, illustrating the steady southward movement of the metropolitan area along the primary road networks.
