2002 Map of Forest City

About this map

The Second Broad River winds through this Piedmont landscape, anchoring a corridor of textile history and rural settlements. Industrial clusters like Alexander Mills, Caroleen, and Henrietta line the river banks, reflecting the region's manufacturing legacy. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks, from the Drive-in Theater near Sandy Mush to the Copper Mine and various Sandpits that speak to the area's geological utility. Educational and civic life is centered around institutions such as East Rutherford High Sch and the Avondale-Henrietta Sch. Numerous family and community burial sites, including Smith Grove Ch Cem and Trout Cem, are scattered across the terrain, providing essential touchpoints for genealogical research. The presence of several dismantled railroad lines indicates a changing transportation infrastructure as the 21st century began.
