1994 Map of High Rock

About this map

Healing Springs and the northern reaches of the Uwharrie National Forest anchor this mid-1990s study of the riverine landscape where Davidson, Rowan, and Montgomery counties meet. The geography is dominated by the Yadkin River and its impoundments, with High Rock Lake and the Tuckertown Reservoir shaping the local economy and recreation. The Winston-Salem Southbound railroad follows the eastern bank of the reservoirs, connecting small settlements like Newsom and Ellis. Along the western edge, High Rock Mountain rises sharply above the water, while rural life is marked by numerous country churches such as Lick Creek Ch, Antioch Ch, and Pleasant Grove Ch. The presence of the High Rock Lake Dam and the Stokes Ferry Bridge highlights the critical infrastructure managing the river's flow and regional transit during this era.
