1977 Map of Kernersville
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The town of Kernersville serves as the central hub of this orthophotograph, captured in the late 1970s. This specific type of imagery, produced through the cooperation of the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development and the USGS, provides a clear view of the Piedmont’s transition from rural acreage to suburban development. Small historic crossroads and unincorporated settlements such as Horneytown, Beeson Crossroads, and Union Cross are visible amidst a landscape of fragmented woodland and agricultural fields. The drainage patterns of the region are marked by Abbotts Creek and the West Fork Deep River, which have long influenced the siting of early roads and homesites. The map also captures the northern edge of High Point and the community of Colfax, documenting the transportation corridors that were beginning to more closely knit these Forsyth County communities together.
