1949 Map of High Rock

About this map

The Yadkin River serves as the central artery for this North Carolina landscape, where the communities of Healing Springs, High Rock, and Jackson Hill are connected by a network of rural roads and river crossings. In the late 1940s, the region was characterized by its traditional transport routes, including Bringle Ferry and Morgan Ford, alongside newer infrastructure like the Stokes Ferry Bridge. The industrial footprint of the era is evident in the presence of the Winston-Salem Southbound and High Point Thomasville and Gulf railroads, which facilitated trade through the Piedmont. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it identifies numerous country churches that served as community hubs, such as Antioch Ch, Lick Creek Ch, and Taylor Grove Ch. The presence of an Underground Telephone Line running through the Eldorado and Alleghany districts reflects the gradual modernization of rural communications.
