About this map

Lexington serves as the focal point of this Piedmont landscape, surrounded by residential developments and long-standing rural communities. To the west, the settlements of Tyro and Reeds Crossroads anchor a region defined by an intricate network of creeks, including Dykers Creek and Gobble Cr. The map reveals a transition from the urban density of Meadowview and the historic mill village character of Erlanger to the more open spaces surrounding Davidson County Airport.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with numerous small burial grounds and places of worship such as Wesleys Cem, New Jersey Cem, and Mount Carmel Church scattered throughout the countryside. Water features like Craver Lake and the Cobles Reservoir indicate the local hydrology's importance to the area's development. This survey captures the modern road infrastructure, including interstate and rail corridors, as they intersect with older farm-to-market routes like Yadkin College Rd and Lewie Berrier Farm Rd.
