1981 Map of Richfield

About this map

Misenheimer and the Pfeiffer College campus anchor the northern landscape of this Stanly County survey, where the Norfolk Southern line cuts through a countryside defined by small rural centers and historic congregations. The settlement of Richfield marks a primary junction, while smaller hamlets like Millingport, Pauls Crossing, and Finger are connected by a network of roads crossing Long Creek, Buffalo Creek, and Big Bear Creek. Local social and family history is centered on numerous country churches including Bethlehem Ch, Mattons Grove Ch, and Salem Ch. The presence of a Quarry and the Bear Creek Airport near the Cabarrus Co line highlights the mix of industrial extraction and regional infrastructure supporting these Piedmont communities during the late 1970s.
