2022 Map of Harrisville

About this map

Uwharrie National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the terrain rises toward Luther Mtn. The rural character of this region is defined by a network of small settlements and family-named roads that reflect deep roots in the Carolina backcountry. Historic nodes like Harrisville, Pekin, and Ex-Way are linked by winding routes like NC Highway 731 E, while the southern portion of the map is shaped by the drainage systems of Buffalo Cr and Big Mountain Cr. Genealogists will find particular value in the location of the Parsons Howell Cem near Covington and Pea Ridge, as well as the industrial heritage suggested by Capels Mill. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Montgomery Co and Richmond Co, following the path of Co Line Rd across the rolling countryside.
