1980 Map of High Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

High Rock Mountain towers over the confluence of the Yadkin River and High Rock Lake, anchoring a landscape defined by large-scale water management and timber. This survey captures the region as the Tuckertown Reservoir flooded the river valley, creating a complex shoreline that redirected local commerce away from the old riverbanks. The Winston-Salem Southbound railroad snakes along the western shore, passing through High Rock and Poletown, while the eastern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling Uwharrie National Forest. Genealogists will find a high density of rural institutions, including Healing Springs, Newsom, and numerous family-named houses of worship such as Taylor Grove Ch and Chandler Grove Ch. The inclusion of the Stokes Ferry Bridge and the Lookout Tower near Healing Springs illustrates the transition from traditional river crossings to modern forest and utility management.
