2019 Map of Harrisville

About this map

The boundary between Montgomery and Richmond counties bisects this landscape, defined by the winding course of Buffalo Creek and the southern reaches of the Uwharrie National Forest. Small settlements such as Harrisville and Covington are scattered across a terrain characterized by numerous creek branches and ridges like Luther Mtn. This rural network is anchored by historically significant sites, including Capels Mill and the Parsons-Howell Cem, which provide localized markers for family researchers. The road system, featuring routes like NC Highway 731 E and Tabernacle Church Rd, reflects a long-standing agricultural and forestry-based community structure. The map captures a moment in the modern era where names like Pea Ridge and Ex-Way preserve the distinct local identity of this North Carolina Piedmont region.
