1970 Map of China Grove

About this map

China Grove and Landis anchor a corridor of rapid industrial and residential expansion in the early 1970s, as the urban footprint of Kannapolis pushes northward across the Rowan Co and Cabarrus Co line. This landscape is defined by the Southern railroad and parallel highway corridors that fostered the growth of textile communities and surrounding neighborhoods. The transition from agricultural roots to a modern infrastructure is visible through the presence of the China Grove Airport, the Rowan Correction Center, and numerous local institutions like the South Rowan High Sch.
