2018 Map of Bruce

About this map

Bruce and Pittsboro anchor this 2018 topographic survey of central Calhoun County, where the Skuna River meanders across a landscape defined by its creek-fed bottomlands and low ridges. The town of Bruce displays a dense grid of streets including W Calhoun St and N Pontotoc Rd, while the smaller settlement of Pittsboro lies just to the south. The area's genealogical value is high, with numerous family and community burial grounds scattered throughout the hills, such as Gaston Springs Cem, Old Town Cem, and Macedonia Cem. The Calhoun County Airport provides a modern landmark among the traditional rural features. Numerous waterways like Hurricane Cr, Duncan Cr, and Thompsons Cr create a complex drainage network that has historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads throughout the region.
