2013 Map of Moriah

About this map

The settlement of Moriah serves as a central point in this rural landscape, situated just north of the Knap of Reeds Cr headwaters. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrology and history of extraction, most notably at the Pyrophyllite Mine Lake near the southwestern corner. The northern territory is dominated by the winding course of the Tar River, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Cub Cr and Rock Fork Br. A dense network of local roads reveals the area's agricultural and social fabric, with routes like Thomas Store Rd and Dennys Store Rd hinting at former centers of commerce, while Tingen Mine Rd and Days Mill Rd point toward past industrial activity. The presence of Old Roxboro Rd provides a look at the historical transit patterns that once connected this portion of Person County.
