About this map

The Southern Railway and the High Point, Randleman and Ashboro Railroad anchor this industrial and educational landscape during the mid-century expansion of High Point. The presence of High Point College and the William Penn High Sch underscores the area's role as an urban center, while the eastern reaches retain a more rural character defined by the winding Deep River and Richland Creek.

Neighborhoods such as Melborne Heights, Bakertown, and Sherwood Village showcase the residential growth sprawling from the city core toward Jamestown and Archdale. This survey documents a community infrastructure including the County Sanatorium, High Point Sewage Disposal facilities, and numerous local spiritual landmarks like Hickory Chapel and the Deep River Tabernacle. Local history is preserved in small crossroads like Kirkman Crossroads and family-named features like Hayworth Spring and Freeman Mill.
