1962 Map of Dysartsville

About this map

Dysartsville and the surrounding high country of the South Mountain range anchor this 1962 field-checked record of Burke, McDowell, and Rutherford counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Broad River and First Broad River, which carve through the Golden Valley and along the base of prominent peaks like Silver Creek Knob and Propst Mtn. This era shows a transition in land use, where traditional rural life—evidenced by Logans Store and numerous country churches like Missionary Ch and Cane Creek Ch—exists alongside modern infrastructure such as Flood Control Dam No 20.
