About this map

The rolling Piedmont landscape at the intersection of Guilford, Alamance, and Randolph Counties is defined by the complex drainage of Stinking Quarter Creek and its many prongs. Near the settlement of Kimesville, the waters are harnessed at Kimesville Lake, while further east, Timber Ridge Lake sits adjacent to the county line. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals a rural society structured around local congregation centers and small airfields, such as Causey Airfield and a secondary Landing Strip further south.

A network of family and community landmarks is visible throughout the quadrangle, including Greene Sch and numerous country churches like Mt Pleasant Ch, Beulah Ch, and Macedonia Ch. To the south, the Southern railroad line cuts through the terrain, serving as a primary transit corridor alongside a major utility right-of-way marked by Pipelines. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Hornaday Pleasant Union Ch Cem, located in the southeastern corner of the map.
