2016 Map of Ingleside

About this map

Ingleside and the surrounding rural communities of Franklin County are defined by the winding course of the Tar River as it cuts across the southern portion of this landscape. The terrain is a network of small creeks and drainages, including the evocatively named Devils Cradle Cr, Bear Swamp Cr, and Giles Little Mill Cr. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground between these waterways, with established crossroads such as Epsom, Kearney, and Moulton connected by a grid of local roads often named for resident families. Significant landmarks like Simms Bridge and the Ball Airport highlight the transport and infrastructure of this Piedmont region. The map captures the agricultural and residential character of the area, showing how localized water bodies like Strickland Pond and Lake View dot the countryside.
