1961 Map of Rainsboro

About this map

Rocky Fork Lake State Park dominates the central landscape of this Highland County region, where the reservoir meets the winding waters of the Rocky Fork. The surrounding terrain is a mixture of agricultural uplands and steep, wooded ridges such as McCoppin Hill and Irons Mtn, revealing a landscape heavily shaped by local watercourses. Small settlements like Rainsboro and Marshall serve as rural hubs, while the map preserves the locations of numerous historic industrial sites including McCoppin Mill, Beaver Mill, and a Factory branch near Barretts Mills. Genealogy is well-represented through family-named landmarks and cemeteries like Hicksite Cem, Hartman Cem, and Butlers Cem. Notable cultural sites such as the Covered Bridge and the Fort Hill Youth Camp provide a clear view of the recreational and infrastructure developments present in the early 1960s.
