About this map

Lexington serves as the focal point of this Davidson County landscape, characterized by its established residential neighborhoods and the industrial history of the mill village at Erlanger. The map documents the city's western expansion toward Meadowview and Knob Hill, framed by the significant transportation corridor of the Interstate 85 and US Highway 64 interchange. To the southwest, the Davidson County Airport occupies a prominent position, while rural pockets like Tyro and Reeds Crossroads maintain their distinct identities amidst a network of small creeks including Swearing Cr and N Potts Cr.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records throughout the quadrangle, from the large Lexington City Cem in the urban core to smaller rural grounds like Wesleys Cem and Sandy Creek Cem. The transition from the urban density of Lexington to the outskirts of Linwood in the south reveals a landscape shaped by both early settlement patterns and modern infrastructure, including numerous family-named landmarks like Lingle Lake and Craver Lake.
