1948 Map of Paw Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Mountain Island Lake and the Catawba River define the western boundary of this North Carolina landscape, where industrial infrastructure and rural communities intersect in the late 1940s. The shoreline is marked by the Duke Power Village and the Charlotte Waterworks, highlighting the region's developing utility network. Further inland, the rail lines of the Piedmont and Northern and Seaboard Air Line support a string of settlements and industrial sites like Sodyeco, Pinoca, and Chemway. This survey documents a transition in local life, preserving the locations of many country landmarks such as Cooks Memorial Ch, Oakdale Sch, and the Paw Creek (Thrift Sta). The dense network of cemeteries and schools, including Thomasboro High Sch near the Charlotte city limits, provides a clear record of the area's mid-century social fabric.
