About this map

Pinehurst and Southern Pines anchor this mid-century look at the Sandhills region, where the resort and equestrian economies of Moore County are clearly visible. The landscape is defined by its recreational infrastructure, featuring the Pinehurst Golf Club, the Southern Pines Golf Course, and the Pinehurst Trotting Track. Beyond the resorts, the map reveals the era's civic and community structure, from the Academy Heights Sch and County Hospital to smaller settlements like Taylortown and Eastwood.

Transportation networks of the Norfolk Southern and Seaboard Air Line railroads converge near Aberdeen, reflecting the region's historic role as a rail hub. Local landmarks such as the Village Chapel and Love Grove Ch provide essential points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in these established communities. The detailed mapping includes several hospitals and the Southern Pines Lookout Tower, illustrating the transition from rural pine forests to a more developed residential and tourism center.
