2019 Map of Milton

About this map

The Dan River winds through the heart of this borderland survey, marking the historic boundary between North Carolina and Virginia. The settlement of Milton serves as a focal point near the state line, positioned where the river valley meets the rolling landscape of Caswell County. Further south, the community of Yanceyville anchors the local geography, while the smaller hamlets of Estelle and Semora are situated along the southern reaches of Country Line Creek. This area's rural character is defined by a dense network of country roads such as Rocksprings Rd and Philpott Rd that connect family homesteads and local landmarks. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Mercy Seat Cem near the northern edge and Cedars Cem in the vicinity of Milton. The presence of Sutherlin Millpond and several significant tributaries like Cocquade Cr reflects the long-standing importance of water resources to the agricultural and milling history of these border counties.
