1982 Map of Pea Ridge

About this map

The confluence of the Green River and Broad River shapes this landscape on the border of Polk and Rutherford counties. The community of Pea Ridge serves as a central point in a region defined by its numerous rural congregations and family burial grounds. Religious life is well-documented through scattered landmarks such as Lebanon Ch, Pleasant Grove Ch, and Grays Chapel. The reliance on river crossings is evident through named structures like Mills Bridge and Wilkins Bridge, which connect the winding roads that follow the ridges between the deep valleys of Wheat Creek and Mountain Creek. A local Sandpit and a central Substation indicate the light industrial and utility infrastructure supporting these small Carolina communities in the late 20th century.
