About this map

The Yadkin River defines the lower drainage of this landscape, flowing past the Cloverhill Plantation and the community of Legerwood in the southeast. This 2013 survey illustrates a region where narrow mountain valleys dictate the placement of settlements like Buffalo Cove and Richland. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and gaps, including White Rock Mountain, Winding Stairs Mountain, and Stone Mountain, which separate the various coves and creek beds.

Evidence of local recreation and land use is found at Camp Carolwood and Cones Lake, while numerous knobs and ridges such as Johnnys Knob and North Rockhouse Ridge mark the high ground. Historically significant sites like the Cloverhill Plantation near the junction of NC-1502 and NC-1594 stand as reminders of the area's agricultural past. The map also details numerous small waterways like Greenfield Br and Toms Br, as well as named landmarks like Silvervale Falls.
