About this map

High Point and Jamestown anchor the northern landscape of this post-war survey, documenting the expanding suburban and institutional footprint of the Piedmont. The High Point College campus stands as a major landmark alongside specialized facilities like the Filtration Plant and the County Sanatorium. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Deep River and its many tributaries, including Richland Creek and Oakdale Run, which supported historical industry at sites such as Freeman Mill.

Southward across the Guilford Co Randolph Co line, the rural character remains prominent through a dense network of country churches and schools. Local heritage is preserved in labels for the Deep River Tabernacle, Hickory Chapel, and the Green Hill Cem. The presence of multiple small airstrips, marked as Landing Field, reflects the era's growing civil aviation infrastructure, while the Southern railroad continues to serve as a primary transit artery through Archdale and Trinity.
