2022 Map of Ingleside

About this map

The Vance Co Franklin Co line bisects this landscape where the Tar River and Bear Swamp Cr define the drainage of the North Carolina piedmont. Small rural centers like Ingleside and Epsom serve as focal points for a network of secondary roads, many of which carry family names like Sollie Ayscue Rd and Frazier Dement Rd. These road names hint at the deep-rooted landownership patterns of the region. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of tributaries including Gills Little Mill Cr and the curiously named Devils Cradle Cr. In the northern section, Epsom and Kearney sit near the county boundary, while the southern reaches include Ball Airport and the waters of Strickland Pond. This survey provides a modern accounting of these established rural communities and the intricate creek systems that have shaped local agriculture and settlement for generations.
