About this map

Waxhaw and Mineral Springs anchor this 1970 landscape, where the Seaboard Coast Line cuts a straight diagonal through the terrain. The map captures a transitional rural economy, evidenced by several small landing strips and fields like Landing Strip and Landing Field scattered among the many creeks. Local education and faith are central to the settlement pattern, shown through landmarks like Western Union School and Parkwood School, alongside numerous country churches including Liberty Hill Church and Thompson Chapel.
