About this map

The town of Star serves as a central hub on this 2019 survey, where the Norfolk Southern railway parallels the highway corridor through the heart of Montgomery County. To the west, the dense woodlands of the Uwharrie National Forest dominate the terrain, dissected by the W Fork Little River and its numerous tributaries like Black Rock Br and Gold Mine Br. The landscape is a mix of protected forest, small agricultural holdings, and rural settlements including Asbury, Steeds, and Ether.

Genealogists and local historians can locate family landmarks such as Allen Cem near the Little River and New Hope Cem on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map also documents modern infrastructure, from the Montgomery County Airport south of Star to the Troy Reservoirs providing water for the neighboring community of Troy. Small hamlets like Okeewemee and Allreds remain connected by a network of rural routes, including the descriptively named Talc Mine Rd and Rattlesnake Hollow.
