1970 Map of Kings Creek

About this map

The Brushy Mountains dominate this 1970s landscape, where the ridges of Hibriten Mtn and Timbered Ridge shape the development of rural Caldwell County. The settlement of Kings Creek sits at the intersection of mountain valleys, while smaller communities like Draco and Cedar Valley are linked by winding roads that follow the path of the Upper Little River. Cultural landmarks such as Wesley Memorial Ch and St Johns Ch serve the dispersed populations of the foothills, alongside social centers like the Cedar Rock Country Club. This survey reflects an era of local infrastructure growth, evidenced by the Hibriten High Sch and the Lower Creek Airport. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by Millers Creek and McRary Creek, illustrating how the terrain dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries like Blue Ridge Memorial Cem.
