The Uwharrie National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Montgomery and Stanly counties. This area is defined by the significant impoundments of the Yadkin River, specifically Badin Lake and Lake Tillery, which wrap around the varied terrain of the Uwharrie Mountains. The town of Badin serves as a primary hub near the Narrows of the Yadkin, where the river’s natural course was transformed by hydroelectric development. Small settlements like Eldorado, Blaine, and Palmerville dot the periphery of the forest, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to both timber and mineral extraction.
