About this map

Greensboro and its eastern suburbs form the core of this modern survey, where urban expansion meets the traditional rural landscapes of Guilford County. The transition from city streets to unincorporated communities is marked by older nodes like Troxlers Mill and Stewarts Mill, which speak to the historic water-powered economy once driven by the Little Alamance Cr. The landscape is dotted with several significant burial grounds, including Midway Cem, Shady Grove Cem, and Piedmont Memorial Cem, providing valuable anchor points for genealogical research in this part of North Carolina.

Water management is prominent across the sheet, defined by numerous reservoirs such as Higgins Lake, Hackett Lake, and Joseph Allred Lake. These bodies of water, along with the meandering paths of South Buffalo Creek and N Buffalo Cr, illustrate the complex drainage network of the Piedmont region. Small settlements like McLeansville, Sedalia, and Greesons Crossroads remain distinct landmarks along the rail and road corridors connecting the city to the surrounding countryside.
