2016 Map of Mayodan

About this map

The confluence of the Mayo River and the Dan River forms the geographic heart of this Rockingham County landscape, where the textile and industrial towns of Mayodan and Madison are situated. The river valley is a focal point for local history, featuring the Madison Covered Bridge and several other crossings such as Lindsays Bridge and Collins Bridge. To the north, the town of Stoneville sits along the corridor of the Norfolk Southern railroad line, while the terrain rises toward local landmarks like Brush Mtn and Cedder Mtn. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, including the Beaver Island Cem, Llewellyn Cem, and Riverview Cem. These cemeteries, alongside rural routes like Joyce Ford Rd and Nickel Plate Rd, trace the settlement patterns and family histories of this North Carolina river basin.
