About this map

The Haw River carves through the southern landscape of this 1960s survey, anchoring a region of small rural settlements and evolving water resources. Mill villages like Glencoe and Carolina sit along the riverbanks, reflecting the industrial roots of the Piedmont, while the recently established Lake Burlington and Stony Creek Reservoir signal the growing municipal needs of the surrounding county. The terrain transitions from the heights of Stony Creek Mountain in the north down toward the rolling creek valleys that feed the larger reservoir system.

Local landmarks provide a detailed record for genealogists, including numerous country churches such as Stony Creek Ch, Mt Vernon Ch, and Bethel Ch. Educational and social hubs are clearly marked, from Western High Sch near the western border to the St Pauls Mission in the southwest. The presence of a Pumping Sta and various unnamed cemeteries further documents the infrastructure and communal history of this portion of Alamance and Caswell counties.
