About this map

Farmington and Huntsville anchor this 2010 topographic record of the Yadkin River valley, where the landscape is defined by its numerous small creeks and longstanding rural communities. The Yadkin River flows along the eastern border, passing through the alluvial Dinkins Bottoms and the site of the historic Shallow Ford. Local industry and commerce are marked by the Gross Mine and Dixon Mine, while the Pino Post Office and Nestor Post Office signify the persistence of small-town infrastructure.

Genealogists will find a wealth of named burial grounds including Turners Creek Cemetery and Tabernacle Cemetery. The map also captures modern recreational and transportation features such as the Sportsmans Park Drag Strip near Pino and the Shallowford Airport located on the river's western bank. The road network connects older settlements like Courtney and Wyo via routes such as the Courtney Huntsville Rd, reflecting the area's transition from early river-based crossing points to modern highway development.
