About this map

The winding Elk River defines the lower half of this landscape, carving deep bends and naming landmarks like Sullenger Bend, Stiles Bend, and Wakefield Bend. This post-war survey illustrates a rural corridor along the border of Moore, Franklin, and Lincoln counties, where settlement is concentrated around high ground and small stream valleys. Long ridges such as Possumtrot Ridge and Mt Vernon Ridge separate the various prongs of Farris Creek and Coffee Creek.
