1950 Map of High Point East

About this map

The Southern Railway corridor serves as a central spine for this landscape, documenting the mid-century expansion of High Point and the neighboring communities of Jamestown and Archdale. This 1950 data, later updated with urban extensions in the early 1980s, captures a transition from traditional rural crossroad settlements like Kirkman Crossroad and Miles Crossroad to established suburban neighborhoods such as Melbourne Heights and Sherwood Village. The presence of High Point College and numerous local schools, including William Penn High Sch and Emma Blair Sch, indicates a maturing civic infrastructure.
