The John H. Kerr Reservoir dominates this borderland between North Carolina and Virginia, where the flooded landscape of the Roanoke River basin creates a complex network of inlets and islands. Along the southern shores, the settlement of Tungsten sits near Island Creek, marking an area with a history tied to local mineral extraction. The map details the transition from the rolling woodlands of Vance and Granville Counties to the expansive waters of the reservoir, highlighting numerous named landforms that survived the flooding, such as Clydes Island, Ivy Hill, and Cooper Island.
