1977 Map of Guilford

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Friendship and Guilford appear here during a period of significant suburban and infrastructure development in the late 1970s. This orthophotoquad provides a literal photographic view of the landscape, capturing the precise layout of roads and commercial footprints as they began to overlay the older agricultural patterns of the Piedmont. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the High Point Lake reservoir and the winding course of the Deep River, while the East Fork Deep River meanders through the northwest corner. To the east, South Buffalo Creek cuts through the area near Sedgefield, highlighting the natural drainage systems that dictated early settlement. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this aerial imagery allows researchers to see the exact density of residential clusters in Sandy Ridge and the specific land-use transitions surrounding the growing regional transport corridors.
