About this map

The Second Broad River carves a winding path through this portion of Rutherford County, anchoring a series of industrial and residential communities. In the southern reach, the textile legacy of the region is evident near the Cone Mills Lake Dam, which sits between the settlements of Caroleen and Avondale. These towns, along with Henrietta and Alexander Mills, represent the historic manufacturing corridor that defined local life for generations.

Further north, the landscape transitions into a network of smaller communities and rural homesteads. Bostic serves as a key junction, complete with the Bostic Post Office and Bostic Cemetery. Genealogists may also find interest in Cool Springs Cemetery near Forest City and Providence Cemetery to the south. From the heights of Piney Mountain to the banks of Puzzle Creek and Hills Creek, the map provides a clear picture of the established road networks and watercourses that have shaped this North Carolina Piedmont area.
