2016 Map of Longview

About this map

The Southern railroad corridor anchors the northern reach of this landscape, connecting the industrial and residential hubs of Hickory, Longview, and Hildebran. The terrain is defined by the descent toward the Henry Fork and Jacob Fork rivers, where smaller communities like Henry River and Advent Crossroads are situated among the winding creek valleys. While the north shows more dense development near the Hickory Regional Airport, the southern portion of the map transitions into more rural family-named landmarks and historical community centers. Notable sites for local history include the Brookford Cem and Bethel Cem, alongside educational landmarks like the Icard School and George Hildebran School. The map captures the meeting of established town grids and the older road networks of Burke Co and Catawba Co.
