2022 Map of Elkin South

About this map

The Yadkin River defines the northern landscape of this region, separating Elkin in Surry County from the neighboring communities of Jonesville and Arlington in Yadkin County. This area transitions from the riverside valley into the prominent ridges of the Brushy Mountains, where peaks like Star Peak and Rock House Mtn overlook a network of smaller drainages including Fall Cr, Beaverdam Cr, and Deep Cr. The transportation layout is dominated by the north-south corridor of U.S. Route 21, which links the riverside industrial centers with rural upland settlements like Rena, Wagoner, and Longtown. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Mount Pleasant Cem, Island Ford Cem, and the Swan Creek Baptist Church Cem, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the long-established rural settlement patterns that persist alongside more modern infrastructure like the Swan Creek Airport.
