About this map

Mocksville serves as the focal point of this Davie County landscape, showing the town's expansion and infrastructure during the late 1960s. The Southern railroad corridor cuts through the territory, passing the Substation and Sewage Disposal Plant, while several local roads connect smaller outlying settlements like Cana, Maine, and Smith Grove. This period captures a transition between rural agricultural life and growing municipal development, evidenced by the presence of Rich Park and a municipal Water Tank near the town center.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous rural congregations and burial sites scattered across the terrain. These include Eaton Ch, Chestnut Grove Ch, Palmetto Ch, and the Rose Cem. Water features such as Dutchman Creek, Frost Mill Creek, and Elisha Creek define the drainage of the area, while smaller landmarks like Stanleys Store and a Landing Strip reflect the local economy and transportation patterns of the era.
