1973 Map of Waco
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Kings Mountain Reservoir dominates the central landscape of this Cleveland County region, formed by the impoundment of Buffalo Creek. The 1970s terrain is a mix of traditional agriculture and expanding institutional development, evidenced by the Cleveland County Technical Institute and the nearby County Fairgrounds. The rail-centered community of Waco and the town of Cherryville anchor the northern reaches, while the Seaboard Coast Line railroad carves through the undulating topography. Genealogists will find a dense network of country churches and family landmarks, including Marys Grove Ch, Hullender Cem, and the community of Stubbs. The presence of the Drag Strip and multiple Golf Courses reflects the mid-century recreational shift in this rural North Carolina corridor near the Gaston County line.
