About this map

Morrow Mountain and the high ridges of the Uwharrie National Forest dominate this landscape where the Yadkin River widens into Lake Tillery. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks including Sugarloaf Mtn, Hattaway Mtn, and Tater Top Mtn, which overlook the winding shoreline shared by Stanly and Montgomery counties. The settlement of Norwood sits near the southwestern bank, while smaller communities like River Haven and Pee Dee dot the central and southern reaches of the lake.

Transport and access are marked by long-established routes such as Randalls Ferry Rd and Randalls Church Rd, reflecting the area's historical reliance on river crossings and community centers. The map details a complex drainage system where Mountain Cr and Dutchman's Creek feed the main reservoir, illustrating the mid-20th-century transition of this river valley into a major hydroelectric and recreational hub.
