About this map

Mount Airy serves as the focal point of this 2016 survey, with its urban grid extending south into Bannertown and toward the Mount Airy/Surry County Airport. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Ararat River, which travels south through the center of the sheet, joined by tributaries like Lovills Creek, Stewarts Creek, and Flat Shoal Cr. These waterways historically dictated the development of the region, carving the terrain around Chestnut Ridge.

Smaller outlying communities such as Ararat, White Plains, and Ash Hill illustrate the transition from the city center to the surrounding countryside. Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks such as Whitakers Chapel Cem and Skyline Memorial Garden. The map also captures the modern transportation network, including the South Andy Griffith Pkwy, which bypasses the older residential streets like S Main St and Rockford St.
