About this map

The border of Haywood Co and Madison Co divides this rural landscape, which is defined by a dense network of country schools and family-named cemeteries. Settlements like Denmark, Wellwood, and Leighton are connected by a mix of established roads such as the Broadway of America and local routes like the Huntersville-Denmark Road. The landscape is heavily dissected by waterways, notably Cypress Creek and Browns Creek, which carve through the terrain between small community centers.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of religious and educational landmarks, including Ebenezer Ch and the Lower Ingram Sch. Of particular interest to transport historians is the presence of the Old Grade railroad alignment near Big Chisholm Creek, marking a vestige of former infrastructure. The map also records numerous small family burial grounds, such as Springfield Cem and Norvell Cem, which provide specific points of reference for local family histories.
