1976 Map of Gaddysville

About this map

Gaddysville and its surrounding agricultural landscape are captured in this orthophotomap, which utilizes 1976 aerial photography to document the North Carolina-South Carolina borderlands. The visual data reveals a distinct pattern of land use, where irregular patches of woodland interlace with rectangular cultivated fields, reflecting the localized drainage patterns of the coastal plain. Small rural hubs like Hammond Crossroads and Five Forks appear as clusters at the intersection of local routes, providing a clear view of the settlement footprint before modern suburban expansion. The photographic base allows researchers to identify specific homesteads and farm structures near White Pond, offering an unfiltered view of the rural infrastructure during the mid-1970s.
