1961 Map of Morganton

About this map

Davis Valley and the winding North Fork Cadron Creek anchor this mid-century portrait of Van Buren and Cleburne counties. Small agricultural communities such as Morganton and Gravesville are documented alongside numerous country congregations, including Colony Ch, Sardis Ch, and Mount Zion Ch. A distinctive historical marker on this landscape is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts across the terrain of Negro Hill and the surrounding woodlands. The map captures the area's rural character through its network of unnamed local roads and family-named landmarks like Odom Point and Rock House Hill. To the west, the landscape rises into Hunter Mountain and East Mountain, while the southern reaches follow the drainage of White Oak Creek and Addler Br.
