2022 Map of Forest City

About this map

The Second Broad River carves a path through this Rutherford County landscape, anchoring a network of historic mill towns and rural crossroads. The southern portion of the map is defined by the industrial legacy of Caroleen, Avondale, and Henrietta, where the river’s descent provided the essential power for early manufacturing. To the north and west, the terrain transitions into a more traditional agricultural and residential layout, centered on the municipal hubs of Forest City and Bostic. Small family and community landmarks are scattered throughout the hills, including several notable church burial grounds like Corinth Baptist Church Cem and Mount Pleasant Church Cem. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern configuration of these historic piedmont communities, showing how contemporary infrastructure like the Twin Airpark and major road corridors now overlay the older settlement patterns that originally followed the winding Roberson Cr and Buck Br tributaries.
