About this map

The town of Liberty anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated near the meeting point of three counties where the rural character of the Piedmont is defined by winding creeks and aviation outposts. Two local airstrips, Causey Airport and Hinshaw (Greenacres) Airport, speak to the regional importance of private flight in this part of North Carolina. To the north, the community of Kimesville sits near the headwaters of several streams, most notably the North and South Prongs of Stinking Quarter Creek.

Water management is a central theme of the topography, evidenced by numerous impoundments such as Kimesville Lake, Staley Mill Lake, and Richardson Pond. The drainage network, including Poppaw Creek and Chocolate Creek, carves a complex series of ridges and valleys through the landscape. This rural network is interconnected by a dense grid of local roads, many bearing family and historical names like Richland Church Road and Oak Grove Church Road, reflecting a long-established community structure at the intersection of Guilford, Alamance, and Randolph counties.
