About this map

Glenwood and the winding course of the Second Broad River characterize this portion of McDowell County. The landscape is defined by its complex topography, where the Huntsville Mountains and Vein Mountain rise above the river valley. Small clusters of settlement at Fero and Thermal City are linked by a network of rural roads such as Spooky Hollow Rd NC-1150 and Red Hill Dr.

Water plays a critical role in the geography, with the Second Broad River fed by numerous tributaries including Stoney Creek and Box Creek. The map documents localized infrastructure through features like Structure Number Nineteen Lake and Lake David. Higher elevations are marked by distinct landmarks such as Indian Grave Gap, Yellow Gap, and the prominent Conoway Knob, illustrating the transition from the river bottomlands to the steep ridges that define this region.
