About this map

The Johns River and Warrior Fork wind through this part of Burke County, where the landscape transitions from the dense creek valleys of the north toward the expanding city limits of Morganton. This mid-1990s revision reveals the suburban growth creeping northward, seen in the expansion of the Morganton corporate boundary and the development of the Mobile Home Park and nearby Golf Course.

Genealogists will find a wealth of localized landmarks, from the Mission Church and Bost Cemetery near the river fork to the scattered rural hubs of Chesterfield and Hartland. The map preserves the locations of vital community anchors such as Corpening School and numerous small congregations, including Littlejohn Ch and Bethel Ch. Further east, the waters of Rhodhiss Lake back into the Catawba River channel, marking the edge of the Drexel corporate boundary.
