About this map

Thomasville and the western reaches of High Point anchor this landscape, illustrating the suburban and industrial expansion of the North Carolina Piedmont in the early 21st century. The map reveals a dense network of residential subdivisions and commercial corridors, punctuated by landmarks like the Thomasville Post Office and local aviation sites such as Mendenhall Airport and Midway Airport. Significant water features, including the sprawling Oak Hollow Lake in the northeast and several small reservoirs like Lower Lake, Middle Lake, and Upper Lake, suggest the importance of local water management and recreation for these growing communities.

Genealogists and local historians can find burial grounds such as Spring Hill Cemetery and Floral Garden Cemetery tucked among the evolving street patterns. The drainage of the area is defined by a complex system of creeks, where Abbotts Creek, Rich Fork, and Payne Creek navigate the undulating terrain. This survey provides a clear view of the infrastructure that connects these cities, from major highways to local routes like Wallburg High Point Rd.
