1895 Map of Hickory
USGS Topo · Published 1895About this map
Hickory and Newton serve as the primary hubs of the North Carolina foothills in this late nineteenth-century portrait of Catawba Co. and its neighbors. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Catamba River and its South Fork Catawba River, which powered a dense network of nineteenth-century industry including Etowah Mill, Bells Mill, and a Cotton Factory near Maiden. The arrival of the Southern R. R. and the Western North Carolina Div. transformed the region from isolated mountain foothills into a manufacturing and transit corridor.
