About this map

Rutherfordton and Spindale form a dense corridor of civic and industrial activity in the 1990s, where the Southern Railway intersects with local street grids like Alabama St and Miller St. This document, updated by the State of North Carolina in cooperation with the USGS, reveals a landscape defined by its transition from these core settlements to a rural southern interior. Numerous country churches and schools serve the outlying areas, including Adaville Ch, Oakland Sch, and Bethany Ch.

The southern reaches of the quadrangle are marked by the winding path of the Broad River and its many tributaries, such as Floyds Creek and Cleghorn Creek. Significant local landmarks like the Washburn Bridge and the Sunset Mem Park illustrate the community's infrastructure. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of family and community-named sites, from Danieltown and Shiloh to the Sulphur Springs Ch and Morning Star Ch.
