1962 Map of Dysartsville

About this map

The rugged topography of the South Mountain range dominates this 1960s survey, where the borders of Burke, McDowell, and Rutherford counties converge. Steep ridgelines like Propst Mtn and Wolf Pen Mountain overlook a landscape defined by narrow valleys and an intricate network of headwater streams, including the North Fork First Broad River and Silver Creek. These waterways were the lifeblood of small rural communities, from the settlement at Dysartsville to the crossroads at Logans Store and Golden Valley.
