2013 Map of Asheboro

About this map

North Asheboro and its surrounding residential developments anchor the northern portion of this Randolph County landscape, where suburban expansion meets the varied terrain of the Uwharrie foothills. The map reveals a transition from dense neighborhood clusters like Westridge, Redding Hills, and Winningham Farm to the more open, mountainous spaces in the south and west. Water is a defining element throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the broad Back Creek Lake and Cedarwood Lake to the meandering Little River, which threads through the southern half of the sheet toward Ulah. The topography is marked by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Back Creek Mountain, Stack Rock Mountain, and the ominously named Purgatory Mountain. These landmarks, along with many smaller family-named features like Harveys Mountain and Cox Mountain, reflect the local history and geological character of this central North Carolina region.
