2016 Map of Millstone Lake

About this map

Ellerbe anchor the western edge of this Richmond County landscape, where the Sandhills terrain is defined by an intricate network of creeks and small impoundments. The geography here is dominated by water features like Millstone Lake, McKinney Lake, and Ledbetter Lake, which are fed by numerous tributaries such as Bones Fork, Naked Cr, and Hitchcock Cr. This area south of the Uwharries shows a transition from agricultural use to managed lands, notably marked by the Sandhill Game Management Rd and the Gibson Nursery Rd. For those researching local families, the map is dense with small burial sites including McLean Cem, Watson Cem, Rourks Cem, and Beaver Dam Cem. These small cemeteries and named roads like Jimmy Carriker Rd and O G Reynolds Rd reflect the deep-rooted rural community and family histories tied to this portion of the North Carolina interior.
