About this map

Summerfield and Oak Ridge anchor this late-1960s landscape, where rural agricultural traditions began to meet the growing suburban footprint of Guilford County. The Southern railroad line cuts diagonally across the northern terrain, passing through Stokesdale and Ogburns Crossroads, while a dense network of local routes like Scalesville Road and Carlson Dairy Road connect numerous small community centers.

The presence of many country churches, including Moravia Ch and New Hope Ch, alongside educational landmarks like Laughlin Sch and Northwest Sch, indicates a well-established social fabric. To the southeast, the waters of Lake Brandt and Higgins Lake dominate the drainage system of the Haw River and its many forks, such as Meurs Fork and Reedy Fork, illustrating the transition from rolling farmland to protected reservoir areas.
