2019 Map of Putnam

About this map

Deep River winds across the northern reaches of this Moore County landscape, defining the topography near the community of Glendon. The terrain is deeply etched by a dense network of watercourses, including McLendons Creek and Richland Cr, which flow through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. These drainage patterns influenced the early settlement and road layout of the area, as seen in the placement of Putnam and Parkwood. Historic transportation routes are preserved through labels such as Coles Mill Rd and Alston House Rd, which hint at the region's agricultural and industrial foundations. The survey also captures numerous small tributaries like Persimmon Glade Br and Tisons Cr, providing a detailed look at the rural character of this North Carolina Piedmont region in the late 2010s.
