2013 Map of Lawndale

About this map

The First Broad River carves a winding path through this portion of Cleveland County, defining the local topography and historical settlement patterns of the Piedmont. Centered on Lawndale, the map reveals a landscape where rural crossroads like Belwood and Fallston serve as anchors for a dense network of country roads and family-named routes. The river's influence is most evident at Double Shoals, where the water power once drove the local economy. Beyond the main river, the land is dissected by numerous tributaries, including Big Harris Cr, Crooked Run Cr, and Little Knob Cr, each creating small valleys that have shaped agricultural boundaries for generations. This 2013 survey provides a contemporary view of these established communities, illustrating how modern road names like Oakgrove Cloverhill Ch Rd and Union Church Rd preserve the memory of local landmarks and social centers in a region deeply rooted in its geography.
