1980 Map of Triple Springs

About this map

The rolling hills of the North Carolina Piedmont are captured here in the late 1970s, defined by the winding boundary between Person and Granville Counties. This rural landscape is anchored by the community of Triple Springs and the waters of Mayo Reservoir, which dominates the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. Local life is centered around a network of country roads and spiritual landmarks such as Olive Branch Ch, St Pauls Ch, and Mt Gideon Ch. Small crossroads and quiet settlements like Denny Store, Goshen, and Sharon illustrate the enduring agrarian character of the region. The terrain is deeply carved by a series of south-flowing streams, including Big Bluewing Creek, Crooked Fork, and Aarons Creek, which create a complex system of ridges and valleys typical of this part of the state.
