About this map

The western edges of Statesville dominate the landscape in the late 1960s, showing a growing Piedmont community defined by its educational and industrial hubs. The presence of Mitchell College and several local schools, including Morningside High Sch and Avery Sherrill Sch, highlights the importance of the town as a regional center. The Southern railroad line cuts through the southern portion of the area, connecting the town to rural outposts like Loray and the Statesville Municipal Airport.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain is shaped by a dense network of creeks, most notably Fourth Creek and Third Creek. Scattered across the countryside are numerous community anchors, from the Midway Ch Cem in the northwest to Céleste and Hinkel in the southwest. The map documents a transition from established urban streets like Western Ave and Broad St to the agricultural lands of western Iredell County.
