2016 Map of Silk Hope

About this map

Silk Hope and Mandale anchor this rural landscape in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, where the boundary between Alamance and Chatham counties follows the path of Lick Cr. This era shows a community defined by its sprawling road network and numerous family-named landmarks such as Braxton Ln, Woody Store Rd, and Archie Johnson Rd. The terrain is deeply carved by a dense hydrological system, with the Haw River cutting across the northeastern corner and several significant tributaries, including Terrells Cr, Harlands Cr, and S Fork Cane Cr, draining the surrounding hills. A notable feature of the local topography is Camp Maranatha Lake, which serves as a central point for the community south of Lick Cr. The survey illustrates the transition from traditional farmstead access to modern thoroughfares while maintaining the original rural character of the settlements.
