1950 Map of Lexington East

About this map

Lexington and the surrounding rural townships of Conrad Hill and Silver Hill are documented here just as post-war development began to reshape Davidson County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of High Rock Lake in the south and the winding course of Abbotts Creek, which feeds into the City Lake Filtration Plant. This era shows a community structured around its spiritual and social institutions, with several historic meeting places such as Pilgrim Reformed Ch, Old Becks Ch, and New Becks Ch serving the outlying settlements of Holly Grove and Hedrick Grove.
