About this map

The town of Denton serves as the primary hub in this portion of the Piedmont, where the local economy is defined by a blend of small-town agriculture and the prominent topography of the Uwharrie Mountains. Moving north from the town center, the landscape is punctuated by a series of significant peaks, including Crouse Mtn, Prickly Pear Mtn, and Steep Rock Mtn. These elevations dictate the path of the numerous waterways that drain the region, such as Lick Cr and Jackson Cr.

Smaller rural communities like Silver Valley, Cid, and Jackson Creek are linked by a network of historic roads, including Old State Hwy 109 and Old US Hwy 64. Local history is preserved at sites like the Cedar Springs Cem, which stands near the intersection of several early transportation routes. The map clearly illustrates the boundary between Davidson and Randolph counties as it cuts through these highlands.
