2013 Map of High Point West

About this map

Erwin Heights and the established neighborhoods of Oakview dominate this portion of Guilford County, where suburban expansion meets a network of established waterways. This landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Abbotts Cr and its tributaries, including Rich Fork, Payne Cr, and Kennedy Mill Cr. The map reveals the sophisticated water management of the area, featuring the significant Oak Hollow Lake in the north and a series of smaller reservoirs like Merry Hills Lake, Upper Lake, and Lower Lake to the south. These water bodies, along with the Uwharrie River, underscore the region's geographic transition from agricultural roots toward its modern identity. Local infrastructure is anchored by landmarks like Hasty School Rd and Prospect Church Rd, which trace the historical corridors of local commerce and community life.
