1969 Map of Calahaln

About this map

Hunting Creek meanders through the central landscape of this western Davie County region, defining a rural topography of small farming communities and country crossroads. This 1969 field-checked survey reveals a high concentration of community centers anchored by local churches, such as New Union Ch and St Matthews Ch, which served as the social fabric for scattered homesteads. The terrain transitions from the rolling uplands near Sheffield down toward the southern boundary at the Yadkin River. Significant local landmarks like the Lookout Tower and bodies of water such as Lake Myers and Skyview Lake illustrate how the natural landscape was adapted for both utility and recreation. The border between Iredell Co and Davie Co bisects the western half of the map, providing a precise look at property and political lines as they existed in the late 1960s.
