1972 Map of Park Spring

About this map

Pelham and West Yanceyville anchor this 1970s landscape in Caswell County, defined by a network of rural communities and small churches that trace the region's social history. The terrain is deeply carved by the Hogans Creek and Moon Creek drainage systems, which feed into larger bodies such as Park Spring Lake and Wildwood Lake. A distinct ecclesiastical pattern emerges through the placement of New Ephesus Ch, Bethesda Ch, and Gwynns Chapel, showing the dispersed yet connected nature of these rural congregations. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by the Southern railroad corridor in the west and the Caswell Airport near the eastern margin. The presence of the Cobb Memorial Sch and several unnamed cemeteries scattered across the ridges provides valuable data for genealogists and local historians documenting the mid-century development of these Piedmont communities before modern expansion.
