About this map

The industrial and residential growth of the Piedmont region is captured in this survey of the corridors connecting Thomasville, High Point, and Archdale. In the southern portion of the map, the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Uwharrie River and a series of reservoirs including Upper Lake, Middle Lake, and Lower Lake near Trinity. The northern extent shows the transition into suburban developments like Oakview and the recreational waters of Oak Hollow Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial sites, including Floral Garden Cem and Oakwood Cem within the High Point city limits, as well as the more rural Spring Hill Cem. The intricate creek systems of Abbotts Creek and Rich Fork provide a view of the natural drainage patterns that shaped early settlement long before the expansion of modern thoroughfares like Wallburg-High Point Rd.
