2016 Map of Polkville

About this map

Polkville and the surrounding rural communities of Hollis and New House anchor this 2016 survey along the Rutherford and Cleveland County line. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent peaks, including Lisenberry Mtn, Piney Mtn, and Jack Moore Mtn, which define the drainage basins for numerous local waterways. The First Broad River travels through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Hinton Cr and Big Springs Br. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it identifies several established community centers and burial grounds. Notable landmarks include the Lee Chapel Cem, White Oak Springs Church Cem, and the Mount Olivet Church Cem. The distribution of these churches and cemeteries alongside older routes like Old Lincolnton Rd and W Stage Coach Trl illustrates the persistent settlement patterns of this North Carolina piedmont region.
