About this map

High Rock Mountain towers over the northern bend of the Yadkin River, anchoring a landscape defined by the expansive waters of High Rock Lake and the Tuckertown Reservoir. This 1980 survey captures a region where agriculture and recreation meet the southern reaches of the Uwharrie National Forest. Small communities like Jackson Hill and Newsom are mapped alongside numerous country sanctuaries, including Lick Creek Ch and Taylor Grove Ch.

The industrial and transit infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, from the Winston-Salem Southbound railroad line to the Powerplant near the High Rock settlement. Significant local landmarks such as the Lookout Tower near Healing Springs and the Stokes Ferry Bridge crossing into Rowan County provide essential orientation for those tracing family ties or land use in this riverfront corridor.
