Rockingham County elevation and terrain tools
Piedmont • County seat: Wentworth
Rockingham County is rolling piedmont crossed by the Dan River, which the Mayo and Smith rivers join near Madison and Eden after coming down from Virginia. The hills are low and even, with Belews Lake filling a creek valley on its southwestern corner and the Haw River rising in its south.
