About this map

Badin Lake and the Yadkin River dominate this 1981 survey of the boundary between Montgomery and Stanly counties. The landscape is defined by the industrial and recreational infrastructure of the early 1980s, featuring a filtration plant and multiple powerplants along the river's course. The terrain transitions from the developed town of Badin to the protected woodlands of the Uwharrie National Forest and Morrow Mountain State Park.

Genealogical interest is found in local landmarks like Russell Cem and rural congregations such as Center Ch and Macedonia Ch. Evidence of the region's mineral history persists through labels for the Coggins Mine and Gold Mine Br. The map also captures several smaller communities, including Palmerville, Eldorado, and Blaine, alongside the prominent peaks of the Uwharrie Mountains like Falls Mtn and Shingle Trap Mtn.
