About this map

Granite Quarry and Rockwell anchor this survey of southeastern Rowan County, documenting a landscape shaped by both the granite industry and agricultural tradition. The town of Faith and the settlement at Crescent occupy the high ground between Church Cr and Crane Cr, while the historic industrial site of Shupings Mill sits along the banks of Second Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of numerous family and congregational burial grounds, including Shiloh Cem, Wittenberg Cem, Christiana Cem, and Antioch Cem. The topography is dominated by the prominent rise of Dunn Mtn, standing in contrast to the numerous creek valleys like Jennie Wolf Cr and Kluns Cr that drain the Piedmont terrain toward the south, eventually crossing the Rowan and Cabarrus county line.
