About this map

The Rutherford-Cleveland county line bisects this Piedmont landscape, where the foothills begin their ascent toward the west. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including Cherry Mtn, Lisenberry Mtn, and Jack Moore Mtn, which overlook the headwaters of the First Broad River. Small rural crossroads like Polkville, Hollis, and Delight serve as centers for the surrounding farming communities.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as the Allen Crowder Cem and Lattimore Cem. The religious life of the era is anchored by numerous rural congregations, including Duncans Creek Church and White Oak Springs Church. The map traces a complex network of creeks like Duncans Cr and Thompson Br that feed into the larger river system, illustrating the historic drainage patterns of this North Carolina border region.
