Narrows of the Yadkin

… formerly a portion of Yadkin River in Montgomery and Stanly Counties constricted by the Uwharrie Mountains, through which the river passes. With the construction of Badin Dam in 1917, the Narrows of the Yadkin were submerged by Badin Lake. Appears on the Price map, 1808, and the MacRae map, 1833. Sometimes referred to as Yadkin Narrows.
