1949 Map of High Point West

About this map

The urban cores of High Point and Thomasville dominate this late 1940s landscape, illustrating the industrial and residential growth along the Southern Ry corridor. This era finds both cities densely packed with community institutions, including an extensive network of neighborhood schools like Johnson St Sch, Ray Street Sch, and Oak Hill Sch. The development patterns reflect a mid-century shift as residential areas expand toward the Emerywood Country Club, while the surrounding rural spaces remain defined by small agricultural settlements and country churches such as Springhill Ch and Zion Ch.
