1969 Map of Calahaln

About this map

Hunting Creek meanders through the central hills of Davie and Iredell counties, anchoring a rural landscape defined by dispersed crossroads and community churches in the late 1960s. The area around Sheffield and Calahaln shows a dense network of country roads connecting established congregations such as Liberty Ch, New Union Ch, and Zion Chapel. This survey reflects the agricultural character of the North Carolina Piedmont before significant modern development, where small water bodies like Skyview Lake and Lake Myers dots the terrain. Genealogists will find interest in the numerous cemeteries and scattered settlements, including Ijames Crossroads and Society Ch, which mark the intersections of local life. The southern edge of the sheet is bounded by the Yadkin River, which receives the drainage of Dutchman Creek and Little Creek.
