1971 Map of Concord

Rural genealogy researchers will find a dense distribution of family-named cemeteries and community churches, such as Hale Cem, Milner Cem, and the Pure Holiness Ch. The terrain transitions from the rolling drainages of Elkins Creek and Birch Creek toward the more prominent elevations of Buzzard Mountain and Indian Grave Mountain in the south. This survey captures the region before extensive modern development, preserving the locations of numerous historic land divisions and remote church sites like Bush Chapel and Smith Chapel.
