1976 Map of Waco
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Kings Mountain Reservoir dominates the central landscape of this 1970s orthophotoquad, its irregular fingers reaching into the surrounding Piedmont terrain. This specialized photographic survey, prepared from 1976 aerial photography, provides a literal visual record of the land use patterns during a period of transition in Cleveland County. The small community of Waco is situated to the north, while the outskirts of Cherryville appear in the upper right corner of the sheet. Rural crossroads and smaller settlements like Stubbs, Stony Point, and Oak Grove are visible through the distinct photographic textures of woodlots and cleared fields. Unlike a traditional topographic map, this imagery reveals the actual density of forest cover and the precise layout of agricultural plots and farmsteads as they existed in the mid-1970s.
