1949 Map of West End

About this map

The Norfolk Southern railroad serves as the industrial spine for this Moore County landscape, anchoring the settlement of West End and nearby Edgewood Terrace. Surveyed in the late 1940s with early 1980s updates, the map documents a transition from traditional rural agriculture toward modern land management, notably within the vast Sandhills Game Land that occupies much of the southern reach. The terrain is marked by numerous water features like Von Canon Lake and the planned development of Auman Lake.
