About this map

The Yadkin River shapes the geography of this Davidson County landscape, serving as the central artery for the communities of High Rock, Newsom, and Jackson Hill. This 2011 edition documents the intricate shoreline of the reservoir formed by the High Rock Lake Dam, where multiple tributaries like Flat Swamp Creek, Lick Creek, and Cabin Creek converge. The topography is defined by the prominent rises of High Rock Mountain and Bald Mountain, which overlook a mix of lakeside residential development and rural farmland.

Historical crossing points are evident through labels such as Bringle Ferry and Morgan Ford, alongside the more modern Stokes Ferry Bridge. Local heritage is preserved at sites like the Newsom Cemetery and the community at Healing Springs. The map provides a detailed view of the evolving road network, including Jackson Hill Rd and Bringle Ferry Rd, as they navigate the irregular terrain and water boundaries of the river valley.
