1977 Map of High Point West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The industrial corridor between High Point and Thomasville is captured in this 1977 orthophotoquad, showing the dense residential and commercial expansion of the late 1970s. This specialized map format uses rectified aerial imagery to reveal the exact physical footprint of the region's development during a period of significant growth. To the north, the community of Oakview transitions into a more fragmented landscape of cleared fields and woodlots. The natural drainage of the Piedmont is visible through the winding courses of Abbotts Creek and the headwaters of the Uwharrie River, which provide a sharp visual contrast to the rigid grid of the urban centers. For local historians and researchers, the photographic detail provides a precise record of neighborhood layouts and industrial sites before decades of subsequent infill changed the character of these North Carolina manufacturing hubs.
