1971 Map of Aquadale

About this map

Rocky River snakes along the boundary of Stanly and Anson Counties, defining a landscape of agricultural valleys and wooded ridges during the early 1970s. The settlement of Aquadale serves as a local hub, situated at the junction of the Norfolk Southern railroad and several primary roads. This era shows a community rooted in education and faith, evidenced by the central South Stanly High Sch and numerous country churches like Bethlehem Ch and Howards Chapel that dot the countryside.
