1968 Map of Coleridge

About this map

Deep River winds through the southwestern corner of this Piedmont landscape, anchoring the community of Coleridge, where the Concord Cemetery and several local branches meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Little Brush Creek and Blood Brush Creek that drain the timbered ridges along the Randolph and Chatham County line. This late 1960s survey illustrates a rural social fabric built around crossroads and country congregations, evidenced by prominent landmarks like Moons Chapel and Kildee Wesleyan Church. While agricultural and residential patterns predominate, industrial and modern infrastructure begin to mark the land, seen in the Gravel Pit near Parks Crossroads and the Siler City Municipal Airport located on the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
