2019 Map of White Cross

About this map

Thompson Mtn and Mitchell Mtn rise above the rolling landscape of western Orange County, anchoring a terrain defined by rural crossroads and winding creek beds. This 2019 survey captures the area at the border of Orange Co and Chatham Co, where established communities like Orange Grove and Dodsons Crossroads serve as navigational hubs for a network of country lanes. The drainage patterns of Cane Creek and Morgan Cr reveal the natural contours of the Piedmont, while landmarks such as Orange Chapel and the Judea Reform Congregation Cem near Terrells Mtn provide essential points of reference for local family history. The settlement at White Cross remains a central feature, situated among the headwaters of numerous small runs like Wildcat Br and Phils Cr that have shaped the agricultural and residential development of the region over generations.
