1969 Map of Kernersville

About this map

Kernersville serves as a central hub on this North Carolina landscape, where the Southern Ry runs parallel to the developing highway system connecting to nearby Colfax and the expanding northern edge of High Point. The map captures a moment of transition in the late 1960s, showing the concentration of education and faith at sites like Southern Pilgrim College and Sedge Garden Chapel. Small, historic crossroads communities such as Beeson Crossroads, Union Cross, and Teaguetown remain distinct, scattered among the headwaters of Abbotts Creek and Deep River. These settlements, along with curiously named places like Horneytown, reflect a pattern of rural development defined by local churches and schools like Glenn Sch, situated just before the suburban expansion intensified in the Piedmont Triad region.
