About this map

The Yadkin River and Pee Dee River converge near the southern boundary of this mid-1990s survey, marking a landscape defined by dramatic topography and extensive water resources. The massive expanse of Badin Lake dominates the western half, its intricate shoreline reaching into the Uwharrie Mountains. Settlement patterns are concentrated around the town of Badin, where the Badin Sch and local industry like the Filtration Plant and Powerplant reflect the area's hydroelectric and manufacturing history.

Remote reaches of the Uwharrie National Forest contain numerous specialized trails such as the Rocky Mountain Loop Trail and the Gold Mine Trail, hinting at the region's geological past. Historical features are scattered throughout the wooded hills, including the Coggins Mine and several country churches like Center Ch and Lanes Chapel. The southeastern corner transitions into Morrow Mountain State Park, showcasing the preserved wilderness and high peaks like Morrow Mountain and Hawaytay Mtn.
