About this map

First Broad River meanders through the heart of this Cleveland County landscape, anchoring a rural network of small communities and family-named landmarks. The settlement at Lawndale serves as a central hub, while smaller nodes like Belwood and Fallston define the surrounding countryside. This area is notably dense with local institutions, from educational sites like Burns High Sch and Central Cleveland Sch to a multitude of country churches including New Bethel Ch and Philadelphia Ch.

The topography is marked by significant genealogical detail, with numerous family burial grounds such as Eaker Cem, Mooney Cem, and Rose Hill Cem scattered among the ridges and creek valleys. Waterways like Knob Creek, Maple Creek, and Big Harris Creek provide the drainage for this undulating terrain, which was documented just as the region’s modern infrastructure, including the Substation and regional high schools, was firmly established alongside its older agrarian foundations.
