About this map

Industrial development and suburban growth characterize this 1960s landscape, centered on the Enka Village community. The map reveals the sprawling infrastructure of the day, including tailings ponds and a large substation near Enka, while the Southern railroad provides a vital link through the Hominy Creek valley. Residential expansion is evident in newly mapped areas like Woodside Hills and Candler Heights, juxtaposed against the older rural character of Owltown and Jugtown.
