About this map

Thomasville and the western reaches of High Point dominate this 2016 topographical landscape, where the Piedmont's shifting elevations meet a dense network of suburban and industrial development. The map details the complex drainage systems of the region, anchored by the meandering paths of Abbotts Creek and Rich Fork. These waterways historically shaped the settlement patterns that evolved into the modern urban corridor seen here. Small reservoirs like Davis Lake Number One and Merry Hills Lake dot the terrain between the growing residential neighborhoods of Erwin Heights and Oakview.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds, including Spring Hill Cem and Floral Garden Cem, which provide geographic context for family research in the tri-county area of Davidson, Guilford, and Randolph. The infrastructure is characterized by major thoroughfares such as Old US Hwy 29 and the Wallburg-High Point Rd, illustrating the transition from rural crossroads to an integrated metropolitan region.
