2022 Map of Glenwood

About this map

The Second Broad River cuts through this landscape along the border of McDowell and Rutherford counties, serving as a corridor for settlement and transit. In the southern reach, Thermal City and Vein Mountain mark areas of historical significance, while Glenwood anchors the northern territory near the Huntsville Mountains. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of named peaks, including Lookadoo Mtn, Conoway Knob, and Turkey Mtn, which frame the many branch waters that feed into the river system. Local heritage is preserved in sites like Brackettown, a small settlement accompanied by the Brackettown Cem, and the remote Fork Creek Baptist Church located in the eastern hills. This 2022 survey documents the contemporary road network, such as Old US Hwy 221 and Tongass Ridge Dr, overlaying an older pattern of mountain gaps and hollows like Indian Grave Gap and Ward Hollow.
