2019 Map of Elkin South

About this map

The Yadkin River defines the northern boundary of this region, separating Elkin in Surry County from Jonesville and Arlington in Yadkin County. The landscape is characterized by the foothills of the Brushy Mountains, where prominent peaks like Arnold Mtn, Hemric Mtn, and Bald Knob rise between the drainages of S Deep Cr and Fall Cr. Modern infrastructure is dominated by the corridor of I-77, which bisects the map from north to south, passing through the community of Rena. Further south, the rural character remains evident in dispersed settlements like Wagoner, Longtown, and Cycle. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites including Island Ford Cem, Jonesville Cem, and Swaims Cem. The map also details the Deep Cr W/S Structure Number Six B, reflecting 20th-century water management efforts in this river-valley landscape.
