1977 Map of High Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Yadkin River carves a central path through this landscape, defining the character of central North Carolina in the late 1970s. This orthophotoquad, created from imagery taken in March 1977, provides a literal overhead perspective of the rural field patterns and forested slopes surrounding High Rock Mountain. The settlement of High Rock sits at the northwestern bend of the river where it opens into High Rock Lake, showing the early footprint of development near the reservoir. Further east, the map details the layout of small communities like Healing Springs, Jackson Hill, and Newsom, each appearing as a collection of structures and clearings within the mosaic of agricultural plots. The orthophoto format allows for a direct visual study of land use, from the dense timber on the mountain ridges to the cultivated tracts that follow the river's winding course.
