1956 Map of Benn Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Upper Fork Mountains and the Lower Fork range dominate this landscape, meeting at the borders of Burke, Rutherford, and Cleveland Counties. The 1950s terrain reveals a pocket of rural settlement concentrated along the Broad River and its northern tributaries like Brier Creek and No Business creek. This area is characterized by family-oriented landmarks and small community hubs, particularly in the south where the Moriah Sch and Mt Moriah Ch stand as local anchors. In the western reaches, the names Richland Valley and Golden Valley hint at the historical agricultural and potential prospecting value of the region. Transportation at this time was limited to winding valley roads and a Jeep Trail crossing the ridges between peaks such as Benn Knob and Hickorynut Mtn.
