2013 Map of Stovall

About this map

Stovall serves as the central hub for this portion of Granville County, where the intersection of Railroad St and Durham St hints at the community's historic transportation roots. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries flowing into the surrounding basins, including Grassy Cr and Little Grassy Cr to the west, and the meandering paths of Gills Cr and Howlett Cr to the east. Small settlements and crossroads like Gela, Bullock, and Hicks Crossroads are linked by a web of rural roads, many bearing family names like Thornton Grissom Rd and Matt Currin Rd. Near the northern border, Buckhorn Springs sits among the headwaters of Beaver Pond Cr, illustrating the well-watered nature of this Piedmont terrain. The presence of naming conventions like Horner Siding Rd suggests the historical importance of rail-side commerce and local industry in the rural outskirts of Lewis and Dexter.
