2016 Map of Southwest Eden

About this map

The Dan River snakes through this Rockingham County landscape, serving as a central geographic anchor between the industrial hub of Eden to the northeast and the county seat at Wentworth. This 2016 survey highlights a mix of rural crossroads and growing residential pockets like Sunset Hills, while the southwest corner is marked by the educational grounds of Rockingham Community College. Modern transportation infrastructure is prominent, from the Rockingham County NC Shiloh Airport near Shiloh to the engineered crossings at Settles Bridge and the Rockhouse Creek Bridge. Genealogists will find several well-defined burial grounds including Eden Gardens Cemetery, Providence Cemetery, and Pleasantville Cemetery. The map captures the meeting of major waterways like the Smith River and Matrimony Creek, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped the region's early settlements and ongoing development.
