About this map

The Dan River snakes through this northern Piedmont landscape, forming a natural corridor for the suburban growth branching out from the Eden area. Development is concentrated in a network of residential communities and established clusters such as Bethlehem, Forestdale, and Shannon Park. The transition from rural to suburban is evident in the naming of these neighborhoods, many of which are situated near historic crossings like Harrisons Crossroads.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with the Eden Presettling Impoundment and small private lakes like Lake LeMar and Lake Hazel dotting the terrain. The northern section of the map reveals the reach of the Dan River at Draper Bridge, while the eastern reaches extend toward Oregon Hill and the uniquely named Happy Home. The map captures a 21st-century snapshot of Rockingham County as established agriculture meets expanding residential developments like Wolf Creek Acres and Westfield Acres.
