1957 Map of Laurinburg

About this map

Laurinburg serves as the central hub of this mid-century landscape, characterized by its distinct residential neighborhoods and established rail lines. Several residential developments like North View, Lincoln Heights, and Middleton Heights define the city's growth, while the surrounding area is dotted with small family and community burial grounds such as McFarland Cem and Hillside Cem. The convergence of the Southern and Laurinburg and Southern railroads underscores the importance of freight and transport to the local economy during this era.
