1980 Map of Burlington
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Burlington and Graham appear in dense detail during the early 1980s, showcasing the suburban expansion and industrial footprint of these Piedmont North Carolina communities. This orthophotoquad, derived from 1980 aerial photography, provides a literal visual record of land use, from the tightly packed residential blocks and commercial corridors of the urban centers to the winding watercourses that define the regional geography. The confluence of Stony Creek and the Haw River anchors the northeastern corner of the map, while the southern reaches transition into more fragmented woodlands and agricultural clearings near Bellemont. Local historians can observe the paths of Alamance Creek and Big Alamance Creek as they meander through the landscape, alongside the evocatively named Stinking Quarter Creek. The map serves as a precise baseline for tracing the growth of Alamance County's infrastructure and the preservation of its natural drainage systems.
