There are lots of places shown on this 1911 Chatham County map that no longer exist--except, perhaps, in someone's memory. Please share what you know about any of these places. Are there crossroads or landmarks still present? What families were associated with these places?

Here's a list of the place names on the map:

Ascend, Bear Creek, Beaumont, Bellevoir, Bennett, Boggs, Bonlee, Bush Creek, Bryant, Carbonton, Coaldale, Corinth, Ditson, Ebenezer, Elm Grove, Elmville, Evans, Fall Creek, Farrington, Frosty, Goff, Goldston, Green, Grove, Gulf, Hackney, Harpers Crossroads, Haywood, Headwater, Iris, Jordan, Kimbolton, Lambsville, Leewood, Lindhurst, Lockville, Lutterloh, Merry Oaks, Millane, Millwood, Moncure, Mount Vernon Springs, Mudlick, Ore Hill, Palmers, Paschal, Patmos, Pedlars Hill, Peoples, Pittsboro, Riggsbee, Rives Chapel, Roscoe, Rosewood, Roundtop, Russell, Seaforth, Self, Siler City, Silk Hope, Simmon Grove, Stork, Success, Tillman, Truth, Tysor Mills, Upland, Waldo, Williams Mills.

The map shows railroads and waterways. The scale is too small to show roads.

Saving local history is a two-way street. We at the Chatham County Historical Association can save and share what we know, but we must rely on everyone out there to share in this direction as well. Please help if you can!
