1970 Map of Kimesville

About this map

The community of Kimesville anchors this Piedmont landscape at the convergence of several waterways, including Kimesville Lake and the branching prongs of Stinking Quarter Creek. This 1970s record, updated with early 1980s data, illustrates a rural transition where traditional landmarks like Greene School and numerous country churches—such as Macedonia Church and Mt Zion Church—sit alongside modern developments like the Drag Strip and pipelines. The Southern railroad cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving the agricultural and industrial needs of the borderlands where Guilford, Alamance, and Randolph counties meet. Aviation is represented by both Causey Airport and Hinshaw-Greenacres Airport, signaling the area's increasing connectivity during the late twentieth century.
