1949 Map of Denton NW

About this map

The eastern banks of High Rock Lake dominate this landscape just south of Lexington, where the rural crossroads of Silver Hill and Cedar Grove anchor a region defined by its small communities and country parishes. The mapping captures the area during a period of agricultural stability, with several family-named landmarks and rural institutions such as New Jerusalem Ch and Bethany Ch dotting the hills. The Winston-Salem Southbound railroad snakes through the western edge of the quadrangle, serving the local economy near Cotton Grove.
