1977 Map of Lexington East

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The eastern outskirts of Lexington and the surrounding rural landscape of Davidson County appear here as captured in a 1977 orthophotograph. This aerial survey provides a clear view of the mid-century transition from traditional agriculture to residential development, with clusters of growth appearing around the established communities of Holly Grove, Sandy Grove, and Hedrick Grove. The natural hydrology is centered on the winding path of Abbotts Creek and the southern edge of City Lake, while the southeastern corner is anchored by the wooded elevation of Three Hat Mountain. Unlike a traditional topographic line map, this imagery reveals the exact footprint of farmsteads, woodlots, and the emerging highway system that would soon redefine the Piedmont landscape.
