2010 Map of Wilkesboro

About this map

North Wilkesboro and its neighbor Wilkesboro sit at the strategic confluence where the Reddies River joins the Yadkin River, forming the industrial and residential heart of this Appalachian foothills region. By the early 21st century, the landscape shows significant suburban expansion, evidenced by numerous named residential developments like Sherwood Forest, Wallace Acres, and Westwood Hills that ring the older commercial centers. The map documents important infrastructure, including the Wilkes County Airport and the W Kerr Scott Dam to the southwest, which significantly altered the flow of the Yadkin River. For those researching local history or genealogy, several burial grounds are detailed, including Saint Pauls Cemetery and the Union Tarheel Cemetery. Smaller outlying settlements such as Millers Creek and Mulberry are connected by a dense network of local roads like Mountain Valley Church Rd and Friendly Grove Church Rd, tracing the paths of early rural development north of the river.
