2019 Map of Rutherfordton North

About this map

Rutherfordton and its industrial neighbor Ruth anchor the southern portion of this landscape, situated just west of Spindale at the base of the Foothills. The area is defined by the winding course of the Second Broad River and its numerous tributaries, including Catheys Cr and Cherry Creek. This late-era survey documents a region where historic churchyards and rural settlements remain central to the local geography. Significant landmarks include the Rutherford County Airport-Marchman Field and an extensive network of cemeteries that serve as vital touchstones for genealogists, such as Brittain Church Cem and the Round Hill Church Cem near Union Mills. The map details the transition from the structured street grids of the southern towns to the scattered communities of Gilkey, Logan, and Westminster in the northern reaches.
