2020 Map of Kings Creek

About this map

Kings Mountain National Military Park dominates the northeast corner of this map, preserving a landscape of significant American Revolutionary War memory. To the south, the terrain transitions into a web of rural roads and watercourses including Kings Creek and the Broad River. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous family and congregational burial grounds, such as Hopewell Presbyterian Church Graveyard and Mount Sinai Cem. The small settlements of Smyrna and Kings Creek serve as anchors for the surrounding agricultural and wooded landscape. Genealogists will find interest in the dispersed cemeteries like Ellis Cem and Heathcock Cem, which mark the lineages of the families who settled this border region between Cherokee and York counties.
