About this map

Taylorsville serves as the focal point of this North Carolina survey, situated at the confluence of several small watercourses including Stirewalt Cr and Muddy Fork. The landscape is defined by a dense network of family-named roads and rural infrastructure, from the small aviation strips like Southern Skies Airport and Gryder-Teague Airport to the numerous local cemeteries that offer significant genealogical value. Notable burial grounds include Jolly Cem and Mount Carmel Cem, which sit alongside established congregations at Three Forks Church and Liberty Grove Church.

The surrounding terrain rises toward prominent elevations such as Pearson Knob and Linney Mtn, while the southern reaches of the map show the community of Liledoun and the waters of Upper Rogers Lake. The intricate web of named lanes, such as Silas Deal Rd and McCurdy Farm Ln, illustrates the long-standing land ownership patterns and agricultural heritage of Alexander County during the early 21st century.
