About this map

The Virginia and North Carolina border bisects this landscape, marking the transition between Henry and Rockingham counties. The terrain is defined by the drainage of the Mayo River and its major tributaries, including the North Mayo River and South Mayo River. Elevated features like Chestnut Knob and Holt Mtn rise above the valleys, while the Marrowbone Reservoir provides a significant water catchment to the east.

Settlement patterns follow the winding secondary roads and riverbanks, with the community of Price serving as a local anchor near the state line. Genealogists will find value in the documentation of local burial grounds, such as Price Cem, Christian View Cem, and Matthews Chapel Cem. Historical crossing points and small aviation hubs, like Anglins Bridge and the Pace Airport, indicate the infrastructure that has connected these rural Piedmont communities through the early 21st century.
