Thanks for the clarification. However, that scene isn't too far off from the look that you do see in the Uwharries. The photo below is Lake Tillery where the Uwharrie River converges with the Pee Dee River, in western Montgomery County.
As mentioned earlier and as you explained in the history of the Uwharrie Mountains, what is so fascinating to me is the picture above almost has a feel that you are in the mountains and the picture below feels like you are way down east in the coastal plain. And they are just over 20 miles apart.

It does go into Pennsylvania. Again, one needs to actually read the book, not just nitpick the map.

I think we've found the author, guys & gals. lololol
I can't think of any place in North Carolina I would describe as "Deep South" -- except maybe far western NC near Georgia. I'd also add an area of North Carolina called, "Metropolitan North Carolina" to account for the diverse urban areas of Charlotte, RDU, and Asheville -- even, Greensboro-Winston Salem.

Yeah, thats hilarious. I'm not the author (although I certainly wish I was). I'm just a smart guy who, you know, actually read the book. And understands it. Unlike everyone else commenting on it.

Although I haven’t spent much time in Southeast NC, I think most find it shocking that any part of NC would be considered Deep South.
I think "most find it shocking" that people would express opinions about a book they haven't read and don't even pretend to understand. Well, actually I guess that isn't shocking in 2020.

That would be the Appalachian South or the High Country. The Deep South is more in line with the coastal plain/Cotton Belt South where slavery was more prevalent.

How does Asheville get to be included before the Triad which is definitely a more metropolitan and diverse area than Asheville?
Otherwise, there is the Urban Crescent along the I-85 corridor which includes the Triangle, the Triad, and Charlotte.

Asheville is so far from the rest of NC that it may as well be part of Tennessee.
i wonder if they feel slighted by the state as far as attention and resources being allocated.
