1908 Map of Kings Mountain

About this map

Kings Mountain National Military Park preserves the site of a pivotal Revolutionary War battle, dominating the center of this landscape where the borders of North Carolina and South Carolina meet. The survey reveals a network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, from the Bordens Ferry crossing the Broad River to the steel spans of Buffalo Bridge and Graham Bridge. The area is densely dotted with community landmarks, particularly country churches like Hopewell Church, Beersheba Church, and Ramah Church, which served as the social anchors for scattered homesteads.
