2010 Map of Pinnacle

About this map

Pinnacle and Dalton serve as the primary community hubs in this rural corridor of North Carolina, where the landscape is defined by the descent of the Little Yadkin River and its various prongs toward the Yadkin River. The terrain transitions from the protected slopes of Pilot Mountain State Park in the northwest to a patchwork of family farms and homesteads. The distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Friends Union Cemetery, Mount Zion Cemetery, and Shiloh Cemetery, suggests long-standing ancestral ties to the land. Water management and historical crossing points are prominent features, evidenced by McLains Ford and infrastructure like Cox Dam and the C F Stone Estate Dam. This map captures a modern snapshot of the region's hydrography, including the Little Yadkin Watershed Lake Six, which regulates the drainage of Crooked Run Creek.
