2019 Map of Farmer

About this map

The Uwharrie Mountains dominate this section of Randolph County, where the Uwharrie River winds past the settlements of Farmer and Mechanic. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Uwharrie National Forest, featuring peaks like Birkhead Mountain and Coolers Knob Mtn. This landscape reflects a mix of traditional rural life and aviation history, evidenced by small landing strips such as Delk's Airport and Spencer Field, alongside the larger Asheboro Regional Airport. Development is concentrated around the western edge of Asheboro and smaller communities like Motleta and Cedar Grove. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies landmarks such as the Balfour Cem and numerous named water bodies including Back Creek and Caraway Creek, illustrating a topography shaped by both its ancient ridges and the legacy of early Piedmont cross-roads.
