1951 Map of Lake Brandt

About this map

Guilford Courthouse Natl Military Park anchors the southern edge of this mid-century landscape, marking a significant Revolutionary War site as it appeared before decades of suburban expansion. The terrain is defined by the expansive waters of Lake Brandt and the smaller Richland Lake, which served as critical infrastructure for the Greensboro Waterworks. The map captures a transition from rural crossroads like Scalesville and Hillsdale toward the organized residential growth found in North Hyde Park and White Oak Heights.
