2019 Map of Glenola

About this map

Archdale and Trinity anchor the northern reaches of this Randolph County landscape, where suburban expansion meets the headwaters of the Uwharrie River. The terrain transitions from the developed corridors of Glenola and Edgar into a more complex topographical region defined by the prominent heights of Shepherd Mtn and Caraway Mtn. This area is notable for its dense network of small lakes and reservoirs, including J B White Lake, Beard Lake, and the numbered basins of Caraway Lake Number One and Caraway Lake Number Two. These water bodies, often associated with community camps like Mundo Vista and the Wesleyan Youth Camp Lake, reflect a land use pattern focused on both local agriculture and regional recreation. Historic centers such as Flint Hill and New Market remain visible alongside rural landmarks like Mt Gilead Church and Mt Olive Church.
