About this map

The South Fork Catawba River winds along the eastern edge of this 1970s survey, marking the industrial and civic heart of Lincolnton. As the county seat, the town displays a dense grid of streets including Main St and Elm St, anchored by the Courthouse and Battleground Sch. Moving west, the landscape transitions into a network of rural communities connected by the Seaboard Coast Line and Southern railroads.

Small settlements such as Crouse, Johnstown, and Roseland are defined by their local institutions, including Bethphage Ch, St Pauls Ch, and Antioch Ch. In the southern portion of the sheet, the northern edge of Cherryville is visible near the Lincoln Co Gaston Co line. Significant infrastructure of the era is present, from the Lincoln Airport to the Drive-in Theatre near Indian Creek, reflecting the post-war growth of the Piedmont region.
