2016 Map of Roxboro

About this map

The city of Roxboro serves as the central hub of this 2016 survey, with its urban grid transitioning into the rural reaches of Person County. To the north and east, the landscape is defined by a series of long-established congregational centers, including Woodsdale Methodist Church and Mill Creek Baptist Church, each with an adjacent cemetery reflecting generations of local residency. The eastern boundary is marked by the expansive waters of the Mayo Reservoir, which creates a complex shoreline of coves fed by local drainage such as Mill Cr and Mitchell Cr. In the northern uplands, Hagers Mtn rises above the surrounding farmland, while small crossroads like Gentry Store and the community of Allensville illustrate the persistent settlement patterns of the North Carolina Piedmont. This documentation includes numerous family-named landmarks, from the Allen Family Cem to various rural churchyards, offering significant detail for genealogical research.
