About this map

Lake Brandt and the neighboring Lake Townsend dominate this landscape north of Greensboro, serving as critical reservoirs for the Piedmont region. The shoreline of Lake Brandt is intricately mapped, showing the Greensboro Waterworks and various recreational areas like Camp Carlson and Greensboro Country Park. The terrain is defined by the Reedy Fork and its tributaries, including Mears Fork and Horsepen Cr, which feed the larger impoundments.

Residential development is characterized by numerous subdivisions and established neighborhoods such as Scalesville, Hillsdale, and North Hyde Park. The presence of the Air Harbor Airport near the center of the sheet highlights the mix of municipal utility and local transport infrastructure. For those interested in the post-war suburban expansion of Guilford County, the map details many named residential clusters like The Orchard and White Oak Heights that formed the northern periphery of the city during this era.
