Granville County elevation and terrain tools
Piedmont • County seat: Oxford
Granville County is rolling piedmont running from the Virginia line south to the upper arms of Falls Lake, where the Flat River and Knap of Reeds Creek are flooded. The Tar River crosses its hills eastward, and the uplands are low rounded ridges and creek bottoms.
Open the mapLidar coverage
Lidar projects that cover Oxford, from the USGS 3DEP index. Other parts of the county may come from other projects; the coverage guide explains how to check any spot.
No lidar project is recorded at Oxford; the map falls back to the coarser 3DEP elevation model there.
Property boundaries
The Property tool can select parcels in Granville County from the county assessor’s GIS parcels (NC OneMap statewide parcels (county assessors)) and use the boundary as the area for any other tool. Assessor parcels are not surveys.
