2019 Map of Hurdle Mills

About this map

The agrarian communities of Person County appear in fine detail on this modern survey, defined by the winding tributaries of the S Flat River and South Flat River. The landscape is centered on the historic mill-site of Hurdle Mills, where roads like Hurdle Mills Rd and Burlington Rd converge near the waterway. Small settlements and crossroads such as Bushy Fork, Allens Level, and Paynes Tavern are scattered throughout the region, connected by a dense network of family-named lanes like Lewis Winstead Loop Rd and Thee Hester Rd. For genealogists, the map identifies several burial grounds including Element Cem, Wheelers Church Cem, and Mount Zion United Methodist Cem. The mix of traditional farmsteads and modern infrastructure is evident in landmarks like the Whitfield Farms Airport, while the hydrography of Broachs Mill Cr and Richland Cr continues to shape the local topography.
