2013 Map of Eleazer

About this map

The Piedmont Upland of Randolph County is defined by its series of distinct peaks and a complex network of waterways that once powered the local agrarian economy. The settlement of Eleazer sits at the base of King Mountain, south of where Lassiter Mill Rd traces the path of former mill sites along the Uwharrie River. The topography is notably marked by several prominent summits including Black Mountain, Cedar Rock Mountain, and Little Long Mountain, which rise above the drainages of Poison Fork and Betty McGees Cr. A landscape of timber and tradition, the area is connected by routes like Pisgah Covered Bridge Rd, pointing to the region's preserved engineering heritage. The map details a transition from the lower river valleys to the heights of Brush Mountain and Coolers Knob Mountain, illustrating the rural character and family-named roads that persist in this part of North Carolina.
