1951 Map of Fair Grove

About this map

The industrial and agricultural corridor of the Piedmont is anchored here by the southern edge of Thomasville, where the presence of the Mills Home and Holly Hill Cem mark the community's early development. Moving south, the landscape transitions into a network of small crossroad settlements and farmsteads such as Johnsontown, Fair Grove, and Gordontown. The local economy of the mid-20th century is evidenced by infrastructure like the Hiatt Airport and the Thomasville and Denton railroad line, which served the various stations and mills dotting the countryside.
