2019 Map of Boomer

About this map

The Yadkin River flows through a landscape of prominent peaks and historic corridors in the western Piedmont. This area of Wilkes County is marked by the Brushy Mountains and individual summits such as Stoneman Mtn, Mars Mtn, and Smith Walker Mtn. The historic Overmountain Victory Trail winds through the hills near Warrior Creek, while the northwestern corner preserves the name of local legend in Tom Dula Rd. Settlement patterns are concentrated around the communities of Ferguson, Thankful, and Boomer, with the northern edge featuring the southern reach of the W Kerr Scott Reservoir. The topography transitions sharply near the boundaries with Caldwell and Alexander Counties, where Boone Gap provides a natural passage through the ridgeline. These features, along with numerous family-named landmarks like McInnis Mtn and Berry Mtn, show a region where modern infrastructure follows deeply established geographic and historical routes.
