About this map

Morrow Mountain State Park and the Uwharrie National Forest dominate this landscape along the Stanly and Montgomery county line. This 1994 revision reflects the modern character of the area, where the impounded waters of the Lake Tillery Pee Dee River have created a corridor for residential developments like Woodrun, Sugarloaf Shores, and Emerald Shores. The rugged topography is punctuated by numerous named peaks including Sugarloaf Mtn, Mill Mtn, and Tater Top Mtn.

For those researching the cultural and industrial history of the region, the map identifies landmarks such as the White Clay Quarry and numerous rural houses of worship like White Crest Ch and Rocky Hill Ch. The Uwharrie National Recreation Trail winds through the forested interior, tracing the high ground east of the Uwharrie River. This survey captures the intersection of conservation lands and lakeside growth in the Piedmont region during the late twentieth century.
