1956 Map of Morganton South

About this map

The Morganton town center and its institutional anchors define the northern landscape of this mid-century survey. Major facilities such as the State Hospital and the State Sch for the Deaf occupy prominent grounds, while the Southern railroad line runs through the heart of the settlement. North of the Catawba River, the flat terrain of Quaker Meadow contrasts sharply with the southern half of the map, which ascends into the dense, knob-filled terrain of the South Mountains.
