2016 Map of Hurdle Mills

About this map

Hurdle Mills serves as the focal point of this northern Piedmont landscape, where the South Flat River and Byrds Cr converge. The area is characterized by a dense network of family-named roads and rural settlements that reflect generations of local residency in Person County. Historically significant locations such as Paynes Tavern and Allens Level sit alongside numerous religious and ancestral sites, including Mount Zion United Methodist Cem and the Wheelers Church Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the S Flat River and its tributaries like Bushy Fork Cr, which historically powered local industry. Aviation interest is represented by the Whitfield Farms Airport, while smaller communities like Bushy Fork and Roseville anchor the surrounding agricultural lands. This map captures the enduring rural character of the region, preserving the locations of namesake crossings and remote cemeteries such as Clement Cem.
