About this map

The First Broad River meanders through this portion of the Piedmont, defining a landscape of small agricultural settlements and wooded ridges on the border of Cleveland and Rutherford counties. Small communities like Polkville and Hollis serve as anchors for a network of country roads connecting numerous family-named landmarks and places of worship. The map reveals a dense concentration of local heritage sites, including the Palmera Grove Ch and White Oak Springs Ch, alongside several family burial grounds such as Lattimore Cem and Crowder Cem.

Elevations rise toward the west with prominent peaks like Cherry Mountain and Jack Moore Mountain, while the lowlands are carved by tributaries such as Duncans Creek and Wards Creek. This survey captures the rural character of the region at the start of the 21st century, showing the established footprints of places like New House and Delight before further modern development, with the Cleveland Airport positioned in the southeast corner near the Flag Creek drainage.
