1981 Map of Morrow Mountain

About this map

Morrow Mountain State Park and the Uwharrie National Forest dominate this river-bound landscape, where the waters of the Pee Dee River and Lake Tillery separate Stanly and Montgomery Counties. The terrain is marked by the distinctive peaks of the Morrow Mountains, including Morrow Mtn and Sugarloaf Mtn, while the shoreline is dotted with mid-century residential developments and recreational access points. Local life is centered around rural landmarks like Stony Hill Ch and White Crest Ch, alongside several riverside communities such as Carolina Forest and Holiday Shores. A quarry near Horse Trough Mtn and the presence of numerous named creeks like Dutchmans Creek and Cattail Creek illustrate the intersection of natural resources and outdoor recreation during this era of North Carolina's development.
