2011 Map of Mount Gilead East

About this map

Little River and Big Town Creek define the drainage of this Montgomery County landscape, where rural road networks connect long-standing agricultural holdings and family estates. The presence of Littles Mill on the river near the southern portion of the map indicates a history of water-powered industry central to the local economy. Genealogists can find significant landmarks such as Sharon Cemetery in the northwest and Ledbetter Cemetery further south, providing anchors for family history research. The naming of numerous water bodies, including Thickety Creek, Susies Creek, and Buffalo Creek, reflects a terrain deeply divided by small tributaries and branches. Roads like Town Creek Mound Rd and Hearne Farm Rd suggest paths between historic settlements and archaeological sites within the Piedmont region.
