1970 Map of Macon

About this map

Macon serves as the central hub of this Warren County landscape, situated along the tracks of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. The 1970 field survey illustrates a rural community anchored by small crossroads settlements and numerous country churches, including New Bethel Ch and Mt Zion Ch. The rail line, which also passes through Vaughan to the east, historically dictated the growth of these North Carolina towns. In the northeast corner, the shoreline of Lake Gaston appears at an elevation of 200 feet, where Hubquarter Creek and Lyons Creek flow into the reservoir. Family-named landmarks such as Walkers and Bobbitts Branch are scattered among the creek systems, while several burial grounds like Greenwood Cem and Pine Grove Cem provide essential data points for local genealogical research.
