First Broad River meanders south through the center of this Cleveland County landscape, anchoring a series of small riverside communities and historic family burial grounds. The settlement of Lawndale serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller locales like Double Shoals, Belwood, and Rockdale. The map reveals a dense network of local roads such as Grady McNeilly Rd and Casar-Lawndale Rd that connect rural homesteads and agricultural tracts. For genealogists, the survey identifies several family-named landmarks and resting places, including Warlick Cem, Eaker Cem, and Mooney Cem. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Knob Cr and Big Harris Cr, which feed into the larger river system, alongside man-made water bodies like Stice Shoal Lake and Shufords Fishing Lake.
