2011 Map of Star

About this map

Star serves as the central hub of this North Carolina survey, situated at the intersection of several local routes in Montgomery County. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Little River and the West Fork Little River, which are fed by numerous smaller creeks such as Suggs Creek, Rocky Creek, and Williams Creek. This 2011 map documents the area during a period of established aviation and local industry, featuring the Montgomery County Airport and the Black Ankle Mine in the northern reaches. Settlement patterns follow the historical corridors of Old US Highway 220, connecting the communities of Asbury, Steeds, Ether, and Allreds. Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks like the Allen Cemetery and New Hope Cemetery, as well as the Troy Reservoirs and several dam sites including Ott Lake Dam and Foster Pond Dam.
