About this map

Hogans Creek and its various forks define the rolling landscape of Caswell County, North Carolina, during the early 1970s. The area maintains a traditional rural character, anchored by small settlements such as Bethel and Swann, while West Yanceyville sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Transportation is centered on the Southern railroad line passing through Pelham, while a prominent Pipeline and the Caswell Airport signify modern infrastructure developments within the agricultural district.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural institutions, including the Cobb Memorial Sch and numerous community landmarks like New Ephesus Ch, Bethesda Ch, and Gwynns Chapel. The presence of several named water bodies, such as Park Spring Lake and Wildwood Lake, alongside many small family cemeteries and the Mineral Spring Ch, provides a clear view of the social and physical geography of this North Carolina borderland during this era.
