1966 Map of Wilkesboro
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The confluence of the Reddies River and the Yadkin River anchors this 1960s survey of the Foothills region, showing the dual centers of North Wilkesboro and Wilkesboro. To the southwest, the W Kerr Scott Dam holds back the massive W Kerr Scott Reservoir, a primary geographical feature that altered the local landscape. The map details a dense network of rural life, including community hubs like Cricket and Millers Creek, alongside numerous neighborhood spiritual centers such as Harmony Ch and Welcome Home Ch. Local infrastructure is well-represented by the County Airport and Wilkes Central High Sch, while specialized landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and Radio Tower (WKBC) reflect the mid-century cultural footprint of the area.
