About this map

The ridge-and-valley landscape of the Piedmont is clearly defined here by a series of prominent peaks, including Back Creek Mtn, Daves Mtn, and Purgatory Mtn. This mid-1990s survey illustrates the significant expansion of Asheboro and its northern counterpart North Asheboro, which serves as a central hub for Randolph County. The transportation network is dominated by the Carolina and Northwestern rail line and the modern path of US Highway 220, which connects the urban center to outlying communities like Ulah and Winslow.

Educational and institutional growth is evident through the presence of Randolph Technical Institute and numerous local campuses such as Teachey Sch. On the southern edge, the terrain transitions into protected landscapes, notably the State Zoological Park and the rugged northern boundaries of the Uwharrie National Forest. Small community landmarks, from Giles Chapel to Browers Pilgrim Ch, provide essential touchpoints for family historians and genealogists tracing the area's rural development.
