1969 Map of Burlington

About this map

The Haw River flows along the eastern edge of this landscape, framing the mid-century urban expansion of Burlington and Graham. The map captures a significant period of institutional growth in Alamance County, shown through the development of the Technical Institute of Alamance and a dense network of educational facilities such as Turrentine Jr High Sch and Williams High Sch. To the west, Elon College and Glen Raven represent distinct hubs of activity, while the southern reaches remain more rural, characterized by winding watercourses like Big Alamance Creek and Stinking Quarter Creek. This survey provides detailed documentation of the area's social infrastructure, including several family and municipal landmarks like Pine Hill Cemetery, Magnolia Cem, and the County Home, offering a clear look at the region's mid-twentieth-century civic and residential footprint.
