1970 Map of Climax

About this map

The borderlands of the Guilford and Randolph County line reveal a landscape transitioning from rural crossroads to suburban development in the early 1970s. The settlement at Climax and the community of Julian serve as central nodes, anchored by the Southern railroad line that cuts through the rolling Piedmont terrain. Local social history is deeply rooted in numerous rural congregations such as St Johns Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Tabernacle Ch, many with associated burial grounds like the Bethel Ch Cem.
