About this map

The Eleven Point River winds through this 1968 landscape, defining the topography of northern Randolph County near the Missouri border. The settlement of Dalton serves as a focal point along the river's path, while the smaller community of Elm Store sits further north. The terrain is a network of ridges and hollows, including Higgs Mountain and Bald Hill, drained by numerous branches and creeks like Bakers Creek and Cameron Creek.

Local history is preserved in the distribution of family and community landmarks, including several country churches and burial grounds. Genealogists can locate sites such as Yadkin Ch, Walnut Grove Ch, and the Stubblefield Cem. Industrial and recreational life in the late 1960s is reflected in features ranging from the Mine Hill area and local gravel pits to the Roadside Park located near the center of the survey. Significant land divisions like Myrtle and Cedar Bluff provide context for historical property research.
