1979 Map of Kittrell
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Seaboard Coast Line railroad dictates the north-south axis of this landscape, cutting through the community of Kittrell and past the historic campus of Kittrell Junior College. This 1970s survey documents a rural environment where development is clustered along the rail line and the transition from Vance Co to Franklin Co. The southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of the Tar River, which receives numerous tributaries including Billys Creek and Middle Creek. Local social centers are well-represented by a network of country churches such as St Marys Ch, Plank Chapel, and Oak Ridge Ch. The topography is characterized by the dissected drainage basins of Tabbs Creek and Buffalo Creek, illustrating the traditional land-use patterns of the North Carolina Piedmont prior to more recent suburban expansion.
