Marion and Old Fort are McDowell County's only incorporated municipalities. Lake James spans McDowell and Burke, while Little Switzerland and Linville Falls sit on multi-county edges. Community routes are practical discovery areas, not incorporated jurisdictions; listings are assigned by verified venue coordinates or parcel, not mailing city.
