1950 Map of Lexington East

About this map

The eastern reaches of Lexington expand into the rolling Piedmont landscape of Davidson County in this mid-century survey. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Abbotts Creek and Hamby Creek, which fed early local industry and infrastructure like the Filtration Plant near City Lake. The map captures a moment of transition as traditional rural landmarks like the County Home and the State Prison Camp No 602 sit alongside growing residential clusters.
