2016 Map of Biscoe

About this map

Uwharrie National Forest anchors the central and southern portions of this Montgomery County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages including Big Cr, Bridgers Cr, and Thickety Cr. The settled corridor along the eastern edge is defined by the towns of Biscoe and Candor, showing the established residential patterns and local cemeteries like Biscoe Cem and Candor Cem that serve these communities. To the west, the edge of Troy and the settlement at Capelsie sit near the winding course of the Little River. This 2016 survey highlights a mix of public forest land and private industry, evidenced by features such as Smitherman Mill Pond and Lewis Mill Pond. The mapping of family-named landmarks like McCallums Pond and Lewis Cem provides valuable spatial context for researchers tracing the mid-20th-century development of the region's rural and town life.
