About this map

Mocksville serves as the focal point of this 1969 Davie County survey, which was updated in 1994 to show the evolving transit landscape of the Piedmont region. The map captures a transition as Interstate 64 carves through the rural landscape, bypassing older crossroads like Cana and Smith Grove. Despite this modernization, the map preserves a dense network of local landmarks essential for genealogists, including the Eaton Ch Cem and numerous country sanctuaries such as Chestnut Grove Ch, Bethel Ch, and Union Chapel.

The creek-crossed terrain is defined by the winding paths of Dutchman Creek and its many tributaries like Frost Mill Creek and Elisha Creek. These waterways once powered the local economy, as evidenced by naming conventions throughout the quadrangle. Closer to the town center, community spaces like Rich Park and a quiet Picnic Area appear alongside essential infrastructure like the Water Tank and the Radio Tower. Small rural commercial hubs like Stanleys Store reflect the distributed settlement patterns of the era before major highway expansion fully reshaped the county.
