About this map

The Yadkin River separates the towns of Elkin and Jonesville in this 2010 survey of northern Yadkin County. The landscape is defined by its transition from the river valley to the foothills of the Blue Ridge, with prominent peaks like Rock House Mountain, Arnold Mountain, and Hemric Mountain rising above the surrounding agricultural and residential lands. The map details the growing footprint of Arlington and several smaller communities including Rena, Wagoner, and Cycle.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites. Researchers can locate several burial grounds such as Island Ford Cemetery and Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alongside Swaims Church. Infrastructure from the modern era, including the Elkin Airport and the complex dam structures at Deep Creek W/S Structure Number Six B, is shown alongside the orchards and creek branches that have long defined the local economy.
