About this map

The Yadkin River and its northern tributaries define this landscape, winding through a complex of peaks and ridges including Stoneman Mountain and Mars Mountain. In the early 21st century, the northern portion of the quadrangle shows the recreational development around the river, highlighted by the Warrior Creek Boat Ramp and the Blood Creek Overlook. The terrain is marked by family-named roads and landmarks, reflecting the deep-rooted local history of communities like Boomer and Ferguson.

Smaller settlements such as Oakdale and Thankful are connected by a network of rural routes, including Thankful Church Rd and Tom Dula Rd. Water management is evident through features like Laws Pond Dam and Walsh Fishing Lake Dam, while the southern reaches descend toward Boone Gap and the headwaters of the Lower Little River. This survey captures the transition from the high elevations of Walnut Knob to the settled valley floors before further modern development.
