About this map

The Dan River and Smith River define this North Carolina-Virginia borderland, where the industrial and residential development of Eden anchors the southern portion of the sheet. This late-20th-century update reveals a landscape shaped by both early settlement patterns and modern infrastructure, including the Norfolk and Western rail lines and the Tri-City Airport. Notable industrial and textile history is evident in the Draper and Spray areas, while the northern terrain transitions into the Piedmont hills of Henry and Pittsylvania counties in Virginia.

Several small rural communities such as Cascade Station and Starlings Crossroads are documented alongside local landmarks like St Johns Ch and the Irisburg Sch. The presence of a Rock Crusher, multiple Quarries, and a Mill near the riverbanks highlights the area's reliance on the natural resources of the river valley. The map also traces significant transportation routes like Virginia Avenue and identifies numerous family burial grounds marked simply as Cem.
