1977 Map of Fair Grove

About this map

Fair Grove and the southern fringes of Thomasville dominate this 1970s orthophotoquad, which uses rectified aerial imagery to reveal the precise physical footprint of Davidson County during a period of suburban expansion. The transition from industrial corridors to rural woodlots is visible in the development patterns surrounding Glen Anna and Johnsontown, where residential streets began to carve through the Piedmont landscape. Water features like Wheatmore Pond and the Little Uwharrie River provide geographic anchors for the rolling terrain. This specialized survey is particularly useful for local historians and land use researchers, as it captures the exact locations of structures and cleared acreage at Gordontown before decades of modern infill altered the local topography.
