Davidson County elevation and terrain tools

Davidson County is rolling piedmont with the Yadkin River and High Rock Lake along its western boundary. The northern end of the Uwharrie Mountains rises as scattered knobs and ridges in its southern part, and the Abbotts Creek valley drains the middle of the county to the lake.
