1994 Map of Eleazer

About this map

The Uwharrie River winds through the western reaches of this 1994 survey, defining a landscape dominated by the protected forests of the Uwharrie National Forest. The map documents a rural corridor along the border of Randolph and Montgomery counties, anchored by the small settlements of Eleazer and Abner. This area is characterized by significant topographic relief, including the Birkhead Mountains Wilderness where peaks like Coolers Knob Mountain and Talberts Mountain rise above the drainage basins of Hannahs Creek and Birkhead Creek. Social and community hubs are visible through several country churches, such as Oak Grove Ch and Mt Lebanon Ch. The landscape remains largely undeveloped, preserved for conservation and recreation, with numerous stream branches such as Robbins Branch feeding into the Little River and Springs Lake to the south.
