About this map

The Virginia-North Carolina state line bisects this landscape, separating Henry and Rockingham counties. In the south, the city of Eden anchors the map, showing a dense residential grid reaching toward the Smith River and Tackett Br. The terrain north of the border is defined by more dispersed residential developments such as Shannon Hills and Marrowbone Heights, alongside prominent landmarks like Drag Mtn.

Water plays a central role in the topography here, with the Smith River winding through The Bend while numerous smaller tributaries like Matrimony Cr and Turkeycock Cr carve the surrounding hills. Genealogists and local historians can find several named burying grounds, including Overlook Cem and Mountain View Cem, which offer physical touchstones for the families who settled this borderland region between the Blue Ridge and the Piedmont.
