About this map

Hulls Crossroads and Cat Square anchor this rural landscape where the boundaries of Burke, Catawba, and Lincoln Counties converge. The terrain is defined by prominent rises like Lynn Mtn and Brendle Mtn, with a dense network of creeks including Jacob Fork, Indian Cr, and Howards Cr draining the Piedmont countryside. This survey captures a pattern of dispersed agricultural settlements connected by family-named roads such as Maw Huffman Rd and Jake Seagle Rd, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical history of the region. Local community life is centered around numerous country churches, including Davids Chapel Church and Sardis Church, along with the Northbrook III School. Near the northern edge, the Chapman Cemetery sits overlooking the banks of the Douglas Creek, providing a specific point of interest for researchers tracing early local families.
