1956 Map of Valdese
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Valdese and its surrounding textile-town neighbors sit along the ridge-top route of the Southern railroad, where industrial development meets the rising foothills of the Blue Ridge. The landscape transitions sharply from the built-up corridor of Drexel and Rutherford College in the north to the heavily dissected terrain of the South Mountains in the south. This 1956 field check documents a dense network of rural community landmarks, particularly the numerous country churches like Bollingers Chapel and Warlicks Chapel that served isolated farmsteads and milling families.
