2010 Map of Moriah

About this map

Moriah sits at a historic crossroads in southern Person County, where the upper reaches of the Tar River and its numerous tributaries shape the landscape. In this 2010 survey, the area maintains its rural character, defined by a dense network of family-named roads such as Lonnie Gentry Rd, Jim Latta Rd, and George Sherman Rd. These paths connect long-established sites like the Mount Harmony Cemetery, which serves as a significant landmark for local genealogical research. To the southwest, the Pyrophyllite Mine Lake indicates the region's industrial ties to mineral extraction. The drainage patterns of Cub Creek and Knap of Reeds Creek further illustrate the transition from upland ridges to the river valley, while Uzzles Lake Dam marks a point of modern water management within this traditional Piedmont landscape.
