1974 Map of Farmer

About this map

Uwharrie Mountains peaks including Ridges Mountain, Rush Mtn, and Mt Shepherd dominate this landscape in central North Carolina. The Uwharrie River winds along the western edge, joined by major tributaries like Caraway Creek and Back Creek. Small agrarian communities such as Farmer and Moffitt are connected by a network of rural roads, with many local landmarks reflecting the importance of faith and community, such as Science Hill Ch and the Hoovers Grove Cem. The presence of the Asheboro Municipal Airport and the Asheboro Country Club in the northern portion indicates a shift toward modern infrastructure alongside the protected lands of the Uwharrie National Forest. Genealogists may find particular value in locating the Garren Grove Sch and numerous country churches like Pleasant Union Ch that served these rural settlements during the mid-20th century.
