1962 Map of Southmont
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
High Rock Lake dominates this 1960s landscape, its jagged shoreline and fingers of water reaching into the rural heart of Davidson and Rowan Counties. The map captures the area as the artificial reservoir, formed by the damming of the Yadkin River, defines local life and recreation. Settlement patterns follow the high ground and rail lines, with clusters of activity at Southmont and Trading Ford. Transportation is anchored by the Southern Railway and the Winston-Salem Southbound, which skirt the lake's eastern and western reaches. Genealogists will find a wealth of country churches and small burial sites, including Macedonia Ch, Providence Ch, and Bethel Cem. Significant rural landmarks like the Camp Sapona park and the Trading Ford Ch suggest the area's transition into a recreational and residential corridor along the reservoir.
