About this map

The Broad River and Green River converge in this section of the Piedmont, where the Rutherford Co Polk Co line divides a landscape of ridges and creek bottoms. The community of Pea Ridge sits centrally along the high ground, served by a network of rural routes like Polk Co Line Rd and Big Level Rd. Several river crossings define the local transit history, including Mills Bridge, Twitty Bridge, and Wilkins Bridge, which connect isolated homesteads and farmland across the shifting waterways.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Walker Cem near Pleasant Hill Loop Rd, while aviation interests may note the Fox Haven Plantation Airport situated near the riverbanks. The terrain is marked by significant drainages such as Maple Cr, Mountain Creek, and White Oak Cr, which shaped the settlement patterns of Beulah and surrounding farmsteads during this era of North Carolina history.
