About this map

The headwaters of the Catawba River flow through this mountainous terrain in McDowell County, where local ridges and knobs define the small communities of Lackey Town and Davistown. This 2011 survey illustrates the complex drainage system of the Blue Ridge foothills, including the Left Prong Catawba River and Little Toe River. The landscape is marked by high elevations such as Major Mountain and Logan Mountain, which tower over narrow valleys and coves like Allison Cove and Padgett Cove.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including Pine Cove Cemetery near Little Mountain, Davistown Cemetery, and Mount Pleasant Cemetery to the south. The road network connects these remote settlements via routes like Bat Cave Rd and Old Fort Rd, while several gaps like Sank Gap and England Gap provide passage through the high ridges. Landmarks such as Wildcat Knob and the Flint Knob area remain central to the geography of this rural North Carolina region.
