Mayfield Mountain

Mayfield Mountain, Granville County, North Carolina is situated in Wilton, North Carolina. This hill is accompanied by one other "mountain" called Jenkins Mountain.[attribution needed] These hills rise two to three hundred feet above the surrounding hills, south of the Tar River.[1] At the base of these mountains is a river called Ford's Fork creek.[2] These hills are abundant with wildlife including Whitetail deer, Bobcats, Coyotes, Carolina river dogs, Groundhogs, Turkeys, Red and yellow tailed hawks, Owls, Grey squirrels, Black bears, and Rabbits.[citation needed]

In the early 1800s, the land where "Mayfield Mountain" is situated was owned by William James Mitchell. The land was later purchased by the Benjamin Franklin Lane family.[1]
