This 1913 panoramic map presents High Point, North Carolina, as a bird's-eye view, a format that let viewers take in an entire town at once from an elevated angle no one could actually have seen from. Its credited creators are T. M. Fowler and Chas. Hart, and Fowler was among the best-known makers of these detailed city views. By 1913, High Point had become a leading center of furniture manufacturing in the South, a reputation it kept for much of the twentieth century. Maps like this were popular with civic boosters and businesses that wanted to show a town's growth and prosperity.
