2011 Map of Buffalo Cove

About this map

Cloverhill Plantation and Legerwood anchor the southeastern corner of this terrain, where the Yadkin River flows through the lowlands of Happy Valley. This map captures a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the deep hollows of Deep Cove and Tommy Cove to the heights of Winding Stairs Mountain and White Rock Mountain. The settlement patterns follow the water, with Richland and Finley situated along the many branches feeding the river system. North of the river, the landscape is a network of named ridges and gaps like Harris Gap and Days Gap, indicating historical transit routes through the high country. Near the southern edge, infrastructure and recreation are represented by the A A Rauchfuss Lake Dam and Camp Carolwood, providing a detailed look at land use in the foothills as it existed in the early twenty-first century.
