2016 Map of McGrady

About this map

Halls Mills and Mcgrady sit at the center of this mountain landscape in Wilkes County, where the headwaters of Mulberry Creek and the W Prong Roaring River descend through deep ridges. The map documents a rural Appalachian topography defined by peaks like Grandmother Mountain and Bullhead Mountain. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors and lower slopes, connected by winding routes such as Long Bottom Road and Mulberry Road. Local history is anchored by family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Roberts Cemetery, Taylor Cemetery, and Burke Cemetery, which are scattered among the ridges. Further east, the community of Dehart and the high point of Bell Mountain overlook the drainage basins of Cane Creek and Gambill Creek, while Turkey Cove Pond provides a rare upland water feature near the northern boundary line.
