About this map

Badin Lake and the Yadkin River corridor define this region of the Uwharrie Mountains, where industrial development and conservation land meet. The town of Badin sits at the southwestern edge of the lake, near the Badin Waterworks and the dramatic passage known as the Narrows of the Yadkin. This area transitions from the structured residential streets of Pine Haven and Palmerville to the expansive protected acreage of Morrow Mountain State Park and the surrounding national forest lands.

Legacy industrial sites and rural outposts are scattered throughout the landscape, including the Coggins Mine near the Uwharrie River and the settlement of Eldorado. The map details the transition from high-elevation peaks like Falls Mountain and Shingle Trap Mountain down to the shores of Lake Tillery. It serves as a record of the region's complex water management and recreational infrastructure, from the Cove Boat Ramp to various organized campgrounds along the shoreline.
