1997 Map of Guilford

About this map

Piedmont Triad International Airport serves as a dominant central landmark in this Greensboro-area study, illustrating the convergence of regional aviation with the late-twentieth-century expansion of surrounding Piedmont communities. The landscape is a complex network of established residential clusters and educational institutions, including the historic grounds of Guilford College and the local Guilford Sch. Waterways like the East Fork Deep River and Horsepen Creek weave through the terrain, which is punctuated by numerous community cornerstones such as New Salem Tabernacle, Raleigh Crossroads Ch, and Reynolds Chapel. These features, alongside the expansive Guilford Memorial Park and the recreational reaches of Oak Hollow Lake and High Point Lake, reflect the suburban and industrial growth typical of North Carolina's urban corridor during this era of development.
