About this map

Morven anchors the upper right corner of this survey, where the Old Plank Rd meets contemporary state routes. The landscape transitions from the small town center into a dense network of family-named roads and rural infrastructure in Anson County. Numerous burial grounds are scattered through the countryside, including the Westfield Creek Cemetery, Friendship Cemetery, and Zoar Cemetery, providing significant touchpoints for local genealogical research.

Water plays a central role in the topography here, defined by the winding paths of Jimmies Creek, Westfield Creek, and South Fork Jones Creek. Man-made features like Crawford Lake Dam and the settlement at Cason Old Field show the long-term human footprint on this North Carolina terrain. The placement of the Westfield Church near the various Westfield creek branches suggests a long-standing community node centered around these local waterways and timberlands.
