About this map

Grover sits at the literal center of this 1971 survey, straddling the interstate boundary between North Carolina and South Carolina. The town serves as a hub for local industry and transport, evidenced by the Southern railway line and the industrial facilities near the Industrial Waste Pond. To the southeast, the terrain rises toward the Kings Mountain National Military Park, where landmarks like the Monument and ridges such as Brushy Ridge define the landscape.

The map is a dense record of community life in Cleveland County and Cherokee County, featuring an extensive network of rural churches and cemeteries. From the Clingman Memorial Cem to Bethware Sch, the geography is marked by small settlements like Midpine and Archdale. Waterways such as Buffalo Creek and Kings Creek drain the undulating hills, while several Quarry and Claypits sites indicate the area's geological and extractive history during this era.
