About this map

Asheboro serves as the focal point of this 1980 aerial survey, appearing as a dense concentration of residential streets and commercial corridors during a period of significant regional growth. The orthophoto format provides a rare, literal view of the landscape that traditional line-drawn maps cannot replicate, showing the precise density of the forest canopy and the exact footprint of industrial sites and neighborhoods.

South of the city, the smaller settlement of Ulah stands at a crossroads, while the terrain to the west is dominated by the prominent rise of Back Creek Mountain. Water resources like Back Creek Lake and Farlows Lake are visible alongside the winding paths of the Little River and Richland Creek, illustrating the intersection of the Piedmont's natural drainage patterns with the expanding infrastructure of Randolph County.
