2019 Map of Pilot Mountain

About this map

Pilot Mountain serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern Piedmont, where the town limits meet the rising slopes of the Sauratown Mtn range. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of family-named roads and scattered rural cemeteries that reveal the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the Surry and Stokes county line. Waterways like the W Prong Little Yadkin River and Toms Cr wind through the region, supporting agricultural land around communities such as Westfield and Johnstown. Local industry and historical land use are evidenced by features like the Mica Pit near the eastern border and several religious landmarks including the Hills Presbyterian Church Rd. This map preserves the contemporary layout of these foothills communities, showing the proximity of quiet rural settlements to the prominent geological features that have long defined this part of North Carolina.
