2010 Map of Pleasant Garden

About this map

Deep River and Polecat Creek define the drainage of this Piedmont landscape south of Greensboro, where established rural communities and newer residential developments sit alongside one another. The map documents long-standing crossroads and local industry sites like Coltranes Mill and Level Cross, while the growth of Pleasant Garden is marked by a network of suburban roads such as W Steeple Chase Rd and Friendly Farms Rd. Family names are deeply embedded in the geography, appearing on thoroughfares like Newman Davis Rd, Coltrane Mill Rd, and Stanton Farm Rd. Numerous small reservoirs and dams, including Benbow Lake Dam and Hunt Lake Dam, reflect the management of local waterways for recreation and community use. In the northwest, the map captures the youth-focused landmark Camp Douglas Long, situated near the headwaters of Hickory Creek.
