About this map

The Yadkin River and its major tributaries, including Fishing Cr and Roaring River, define the landscape of eastern Wilkes County in this 2013 survey. The area shows a transition from the urbanized edge of North Wilkesboro in the west to more dispersed rural settlements like Knottville, Dellaplane, and Antioch. This map records a dense network of local roads that reflect a history of family landholdings and small-scale agriculture, evidenced by labels such as Anthony Farm Rd and Jim Crabb Rd.

A notable landmark on this sheet is the Wilkesboro Speedway located south of Call, a significant site for local racing history. Further north, the terrain rises toward Round Mountain, overlooking Wilkes Lake and the Wilkes County Airport. This era of the region’s development is characterized by the persistent footprint of long-standing communities such as Edgewood and Windy Gap, alongside modern infrastructure improvements and state roads like NC-1967.
