About this map

The Greensboro-High Point Airport and the historic campus of Guilford College anchor this landscape during a period of significant mid-century transition. The terrain is defined by the convergence of the East Fork and West Fork of the Deep River, which feeds into High Point Lake at the southern edge of the sheet. This area shows a dense network of rural community centers, with numerous small congregations such as Friendship Ch and New Salem Tabernacle serving the local population.

Transportation corridors including the Southern railroad and Friendly Road connect established settlements like Jamestown and Guilford to the growing urban hubs. Notable recreation and social landmarks are prominent, from the Sedgefield Country Club to the Uwharrie Council Camp. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of numerous family-oriented landmarks and civic institutions, including Whites Mill and the Guilford Sch, before the full onset of late-twentieth-century suburban development.
