2022 Map of Northeast Eden

About this map

The northern edge of Eden and the winding course of the Dan River anchor this topographic study along the North Carolina and Virginia border. The landscape transitions from the industrial and residential corridors of Central Area and Meadow Summit into the upland terrain of the Piedmont. Evidence of long-standing community life is visible in the numerous burial grounds, including Starling Cem, Blue Creek Cem, and Dan View Cem, while smaller settlements such as Starlings Crossroads, Fitzgerald, and Cascade dot the outlying rural roads. The area's relief is defined by prominent heights like Aiken Summit, Stills Mtn, and Boyd Mtn, which overlook a complex network of waterways including Cascade Creek and Lick Fork. Local history researchers will find the rail-related geography of Leaksville Junction particularly significant, marking a point of connection in the regional transportation network just above the state line.
