1970 Map of Hickory

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Lenoir Rhyne College serves as a prominent landmark in the northern urban center of Hickory, where the Southern railroad corridor and local textile history shaped the landscape. This 1970 field-checked survey captures the city's southward expansion toward the confluence of the Henry Fork and Jacob Fork, which join to form the South Fk Catawba River. The transition from the dense street grids of Longview and Viewmont to the rolling agricultural and wooded tracts of Startown and Fairbrook is clearly visible.
