1956 Map of Rockingham

About this map

The Pee Dee River defines the western edge of this mid-century survey, marking the boundary between Richmond and Anson Counties. Industrial and civic development is centered in Rockingham and East Rockingham, where textile or milling operations are evidenced by features like Steeles Mill Pond and Great Falls Pond. The railroad infrastructure of the Seaboard Coast Line supports these growing centers, connecting the urban core to outlying residential pockets like Glenwood and the Richmond Park Extension.
