2024 Map of Washington East

About this map

The Wilkes County Courthouse stands at the urban heart of Washington, marking a transition from the structured street grid of the town center to the outlying timberlands and agricultural reaches of Wilkes County. This eastern quadrangle reveals a landscape defined by its water resources and small-scale settlements, including Logan and the southern area of Lundberg. Significant water bodies like Booth Lake and Shillinglaw Lake are tucked among the contours, while the broader drainage system is led by Rocky Creek and Upton Creek. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies several rural burial sites, including Cliffords Grove Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Symma Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks for the families who have long inhabited these wooded ridges and creek bottoms.
