About this map

North Wilkesboro and Wilkesboro anchor this 2013 survey of the upper Yadkin Valley, showing the modern suburban and industrial development along the Yadkin River. The map illustrates the convergence of several major water systems, including the Reddies River, Moravian Cr, and Cub Cr, which historically shaped the region's commerce and settlement patterns. The western edge is defined by the massive W Kerr Scott Reservoir, a critical hydrological feature for the county.

Neighborhoods and named developments like Sherwood Forest, Fairplains, and Knollwood reflect the expansion of the towns into the surrounding foothills. In more rural areas to the north and west, the map records long-standing communities such as Mulberry and Millers Creek. The terrain is characterized by prominent landmarks like Owens Knob and the low-lying Blairs Island within the Yadkin, providing a detailed view of the area's physical geography just after the first decade of the millennium.
