About this map

The Uwharrie National Forest dominates this section of Montgomery County, where a series of prominent peaks and watercourses define the landscape. The Uwharrie National Recreation Trail winds through the western portion, passing landmarks such as Bunnel Mtn, Joe Mtn, and Round Mtn. Small settlements and missions are scattered across the forest's edge, including Ophir to the northwest and Refuge Mission to the south. This terrain is characterized by a dense network of branches and creeks, such as Barnes Cr and Dumas Cr, which drain the ridges surrounding peaks like Jenny Wright Mtn and Wysner Mtn.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds including Zoar Cem, Love Joy Cem, and Shiloh Cem. The southeastern corner shows the northern approach to Troy, marked by the intersection of N Main St and Glenn Rd near Cottonstone Mtn. The transport pattern reveals a transition from these urban streets to isolated forest routes like Confederate Dr and Tower Rd, illustrating the intersection of residential growth and protected wilderness.
