About this map

The Dan River snakes across this North Carolina landscape, providing the drainage for a network of creeks including Covenant Branch, Machine Creek, and Wolf Island Creek. In this region south of the Virginia border, the 2010 landscape is characterized by a high density of small residential developments such as Meadow Wood Acres, Shannon Forest, and College Village. These modern settlements are interspersed with numerous burial grounds of significant genealogical value, including Slaydon Cemetery and Mount Hermon Cemetery, highlighting the deep roots of families in the area.

Transportation and recreation are visible through features like the Draper Bridge and the Wolf Island Racetrack located east of Harrisons Crossroads. The map also captures infrastructure critical to local water management, such as the Eden Presettling Impoundment and several smaller reservoirs like Sharps Lake and Lake LeMar. The variety of place names like Bearslide and Happy Home suggests a rich local history of named landmarks and long-established neighborhoods.
