2010 Map of Townsville

About this map

Townsville and the surrounding Vance County landscape are defined by the expansive waters of the John H Kerr Reservoir, which dominates the eastern half of this terrain. The map reveals a network of rural settlements linked by historic thoroughfares like Stagecoach Rd and names that hint at the region's industrial past, such as Tungsten Mine Rd. In this corner of North Carolina, the community centers are often marked by crossroads, including Knotts Crossroads, Kellys Crossroads, and Hicks Crossroads. Near the reservoir, recreational and local transport hubs like Townsville Landing and the Nutbush Bridge Campground sit alongside Little Nutbush Creek. The interior is crisscrossed by several waterways, including Little Island Creek and Flat Creek, which shaped the early settlement patterns of old Williamsboro.
