2017 Map of Reidsville East

About this map

Thomas Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Battle Cr and Chapel Cr, define the low-lying geography east of Reidsville. This 2017 survey reveals a landscape where water management is central to the rural economy, evidenced by several impoundments such as Durrence Lake, Segull Lake, and Jones Millpond. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is an exceptional resource for locating family burial sites scattered across the countryside, including Old Shiloh Cem, Maddox Cem, and Gainwell Cem. The small settlement of Hughland sits at a rural crossroads, while the road network shows the integration of older family-named routes like John Luther Branch Rd and Edsel Coy Durrence Rd with the modern county road system. These labels preserve the names of the families who established the homesteads and farms of Tattnall County.
