About this map

Kings Mountain National Military Park dominates the northern corner of this landscape, marking a site of deep historical significance along the Cherokee Co and York Co line. The settlement of Kings Creek and the small town of Smyrna serve as local hubs, connected by a network of rural routes like McGill Hwy and Old Yorkville Rd. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Broad River, where river crossings like Island Ferry and Bordens Ferry once facilitated movement across the water.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial grounds and places of worship, including the Hopewell Presbyterian Church Graveyard, Zoar African Methodist Episcopal Church Graveyard, and Mount Sinai Church Graveyard. Smaller family plots and community landmarks such as Goode Cem, Dye Cem, and Blalock Cem are scattered throughout the hills, providing a clear record of the area's established homesteads and long-standing communities.
