2016 Map of Leasburg

About this map

Leasburg and the surrounding tobacco country of Caswell County are defined by the winding waters of Hyco Creek and its many tributaries. The landscape is a network of rural routes named for local families and agricultural sites, such as Yarbroughs Mill Rd, Murphy Rd, and Slaughter Rd. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling reaches of Hyco Lake, where the Caswell Co Person Co line intersects the water near Semora. This modern survey reveals the shift toward recreation and conservation in the region, evidenced by the numerous residential developments like Pine Knoll Acres and the protected lands of the Caswell Wildlife Mgmt Area Pond 1. Small inland settlements like Gilead and Osmond anchor the interior, while sites like Ebenezer Church and the Winstead 76 Airport mark the community centers and infrastructure of the contemporary era.
