1976 Map of Mount Gilead East

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Mount Gilead anchors the western edge of this 1976 orthophotoquad, where the transition from town lots to open agricultural fields is clearly visible from above. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little River, which snakes through the eastern half of the map, and the smaller drainage of Town Creek. Unlike a standard topographic map, this aerial perspective provides a literal view of the timber stands and cleared land patterns in Montgomery County during the mid-1970s. State roads like 109 and 731 cut through the forest, connecting the local population to the surrounding countryside. The dense pattern of fields along the river suggests a reliance on the fertile bottomlands that have long shaped the settlement and economy of this North Carolina region.
