1980 Map of New London

About this map

New London and the surrounding rural communities of Palestine and Isenhour sit at a geographic crossroads defined by heavy industry and natural beauty in the late 1970s. The eastern edge of the map is dominated by the Yadkin River corridor, where the Tuckertown Reservoir meets Badin Lake at the Tuckertown Dam. This area reveals the vital energy infrastructure of the era, including a Powerplant and massive Substation facilities.
