About this map

The western outskirts of Lexington and the mill village of Erlanger anchor this mid-century portrait of Davidson County. The landscape is a network of small agricultural communities and rural institutions, including Pauls Chapel, Shiloh Ch, and Reeds Sch. Moving west from the city center, the terrain is defined by the drainages of Potts Creek and Swearing Creek, which flow through the townships of Tyro and Boone. This era shows the local infrastructure in detail, from the Winston-Salem Southbound railway lines to the Telephone Line and Pipe Line corridors that crisscross the countryside.
