About this map

Tuckertown Reservoir and the winding course of the Yadkin River define this landscape on the border of Davidson and Rowan counties. The map details a transition from the managed timberlands of the Uwharrie National Forest in the southeast to the rugged summits of High Rock Mtn and Bald Mtn. Local history is preserved in the location of several small communities, including the namesake High Rock, the crossroads of Jackson Hill, and the settlement at Healing Springs.

The infrastructure of the early 21st century appears alongside older landmarks like the Stokes Ferry Bridge and the Newsom Cem. Genealogists can trace family footprints through numerous named roads such as Bringle Ferry Rd, Loflin Rd, and Euris Surratt Rd, while the hydrography of Lick Creek and Cabin Cr reveals the drainage patterns that shaped the area's original farms and crossings at Morgan Ford.
