Gilead Ridge and the South Mountains dominate the northwestern landscape of this region where Cleveland, Burke, Lincoln, and Catawba counties converge. The rugged topography is defined by numerous peaks such as Doublehead Mtn and Swenk Knob, which give way to a network of winding roads and valley settlements. The community of Casar serves as a local hub in the southwest, while other small centers like Belwood and Toluca anchor the southeastern corner near the Lincoln County line.
