About this map

The First Broad River carves a winding path through the center of Cleveland County, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the communities of Lawndale and Double Shoals. This landscape is defined by its deep network of creeks, including Maple Creek, Magness Creek, and Big Harris Creek, which separate small agricultural clusters and established rural neighborhoods. The infrastructure of the early 2000s shows a dense concentration of local institutions, from the Burns High Sch campus to numerous family and community landmarks like Mooney Cem and Elliott Mem Ch.

Secondary settlements such as Fallston and Belwood anchor the eastern and northern reaches of the quadrangle, connected by a network of local roads that bypass the steeper slopes of Pleasant Hill. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in religious and burial sites, including Palm Tree Cem, St Pauls Ch, and Kistlers Cem, which trace the ancestral footprints of these North Carolina Piedmont townships.
