1970 Map of Climax

About this map

Climax and Julian serve as the primary nodes of development along the Southern rail line in this 1970 study of the North Carolina Piedmont. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous drainages, including Big Alamance Creek and Stinking Quarter Creek, which carve a rolling topography through the Guilford and Randolph county line. Local community life is anchored by numerous rural congregations such as St Johns Ch, Julian Hill Ch, and Shiloh Ch, while the northern portion of the sheet shows the encroaching suburban infrastructure of Southeast High Sch and a local Sewage Disposal plant. The region's aviation and recreation are represented by the May Airport, Southeast Greensboro Airport, and the expansive Hagan-Stone Park, reflecting a mid-century period of diversification from traditional agriculture.
