About this map

Guilford Courthouse National Military Park anchors the southern portion of this region, preserving the site of the Revolutionary War battle within the modern footprint of Greensboro. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major water reservoirs and their tributaries, including the extensive Lake Brandt and Lake Townsend, which are fed by Reedy Fork and the Haw River at the northern Guilford County boundary. The map illustrates a suburbanizing landscape where older communities like Summerfield and Scalesville meet expanding developments in North Hyde Park and Brightwood.

Researchers will find a detailed network of family-named roads and rural infrastructure, such as the Air Harbor Airport and numerous smaller impoundments like Richardson Lake and Honeysuckle Lake. The transition from the rural hills of northern Guilford County into the northern reaches of Greensboro is evident, with significant local sites like Forest Lawn Cem and Koontzville documented alongside the winding courses of Mears Fork and Richland Cr.
