About this map

Badin Lake and the Yadkin River dominate the landscape of the western Uwharrie National Forest, marking the boundary between Montgomery and Stanly counties. This area is defined by the sharp relief of the Uwharrie Mountains, including peaks such as Shingle Trap Mtn, Falls Mtn, and Palmer Mtn. The hydrology of the region is complex, featuring the Narrows of the Yadkin and a series of reservoirs including Falls Reservoir and the northern reaches of Lake Tillery.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground and water access, with the town of Badin showing a structured grid of streets like Walnut St and Pine St. Smaller communities such as Eldorado, Blaine, and Palmerville are connected by forest roads and trails. Evidence of the region's industrial and social history is preserved through the Coggins Mine and several local burial grounds, including Lanes Chapel Cem and Macedonia Cem.
