1969 Map of High Point West

About this map

High Point and Thomasville define the industrial and residential core of this Piedmont landscape, shown here just before the era of major suburban expansion. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Uwharrie River and its tributaries, including Abbotts Creek and Rich Fork, which provide the drainage for the area's rolling hills. This map illustrates the transition from urban centers to rural farmland, punctuated by small community landmarks such as Zion Ch and the Little White Ch.
