About this map

Hiddenite serves as a central hub in this section of the Piedmont during the early 1970s, situated where the terrain begins to transition toward more prominent peaks. The landscape is defined by the South Yadkin River and its numerous tributaries, including Beaverdam Creek and Greasy Creek. To the north, the elevation rises sharply at Asbury Mountain and Rocky Face, the latter featuring a notable Quarry on its western slope.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of community landmarks, particularly country churches like Linneys Grove Ch, Berea Ch, and Pisgah Ch. Small settlements such as Vashti, Midway, and Rocky Springs are connected by a network of rural roads traversing the ridges between the river valleys. The boundary between Alexander and Iredell counties is clearly delineated as it crosses the eastern portion of the map near Lackey Mtn.
