1993 Map of Longview

About this map

The industrial and residential growth along the Burke and Catawba County line is documented here in the early 1990s. The Southern railroad corridor serves as the spine for development, linking the settlements of Icard, Hildebran, and Longview. While the northern section of the map shows suburban expansion and infrastructure like the Municipal Airport and City Hall, the southern landscape remains defined by the winding course of the Henry River and its tributary, the Henry Fork. This area is dotted with small rural centers and numerous community landmarks, such as Advent Crossroads and the Mountain Grove Church near Baker Mtn. The detailed topographic data reveals the transition from the river lowlands to the rising elevations of Piney Mtn, offering a clear view of how the regional road network connects isolated farmsteads to emerging commercial hubs.
