1966 Map of Rutherfordton North

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Second Broad River cuts a winding path through this portion of Rutherford County, anchoring a landscape of small agricultural settlements and rural congregations. The northern reaches of Rutherfordton and the neighboring industrial community of Spindale show a concentrated pattern of growth, while smaller hamlets like Union Mills and Gilkey remain centered around local landmarks and crossroads. This mid-1960s survey preserves the locations of numerous historic institutions, including the Round Hill Sch and Alexander Sch, along with many family-named churches such as Mitchell Chapel and Owens Chapel. The Southern Railway and the winding course of Catheys Creek provided the primary transport and drainage corridors that shaped the distribution of homesteads. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed mapping of remote burying grounds like Liberty Hill Cem and the Oak Springs Cem.
