2019 Map of Pittsboro

About this map

Pittsboro serves as the central hub of this Chatham County landscape, where the street grid transitions into a network of rural routes named for local families and early industry. Water management is a defining characteristic of the area, evidenced by the Upper Pittsboro Water Supply Pond and the Webster Poultry Company Pond. The terrain is shaped by the winding course of the Rocky River and its numerous tributaries, including Harlands Cr and Turkey Cr. In the western portion of the sheet, Round Top Mtn provides a distinct topographic landmark amidst the rolling drainage basins. Historical transit patterns are preserved in road names like Henleys Mill Rd and Mays Chapel Rd, suggesting the locations of former community centers and milling sites that once anchored the local economy.
