1956 Map of Harrisville

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The border of Montgomery and Richmond Counties is defined by an indefinite boundary in this mid-century survey of North Carolina's Sandhills region. The small settlement of Harrisville sits centrally near Woodwards Mountain, overlooked by the Harrisville Lookout Tower. To the south, the landscape is shaped by the drainages of Buffalo Creek and Nells Creek, where the Parsons-Howell School and Covington are located. Rural life in the 1950s is evidenced by several country congregations, including Blackwood Chapel, Sardis Church, and Concord Church. Industrial and agricultural landmarks like Capels Mill near Beaverdam Creek provide clues for local historians and genealogists tracing family names in the area near Pekin and the interestingly named Ex-Way.
