1970 Map of Maiden

About this map

Maiden serves as the central hub of this Piedmont landscape, straddling the Catawba Co Lincoln Co line during the early 1970s. The town's layout is defined by the Southern rail line and a concentration of civic landmarks including the High Sch and several neighborhood houses of worship like East Maiden Ch. Just to the north, the presence of the State Prison Camp and the small settlement of Duan contrast with the more industrial character of the Filtration Plant and Providence Mill along Maiden Creek. The surrounding countryside is dotted with family-named churches and small water bodies, such as Gladdens Lakes and Horseshoe Lake, reflecting a region of dispersed rural communities and small-scale agriculture. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks from Mays Chapel in the north to McKendree Ch and the settlement of Pumpkin Center in the south.
