1950 Map of Shelby

About this map

The industrial and agricultural corridors of Cleveland County are clearly defined in this mid-century survey, centered on the growing city of Shelby. The landscape is shaped by the winding First Broad River and a dense network of textile-related landmarks, including Ora Mill and Dover Mill. Transportation relies on the Seaboard Air Line and Southern railroads, which connect smaller rural hubs like Lattimore and Mooresboro.
