2019 Map of Bessemer City

About this map

Bessemer City serves as the central hub of this map, situated within the rolling foothills where Gaston and Cleveland Counties meet. The landscape is defined by its numerous small waterways, including Long Cr and Abernethy Cr, which drain the varied topography of Chestnut Ridge and Pasour Mtn. The settlement pattern follows a network of rural roads and historical landmarks such as Tryon and Sunnyside, illustrating the transition from open agricultural land to the developed outskirts of Gastonia and Kings Mountain. Cultural and community centers are well-documented, featuring institutions like Tryon School and local congregations including Saint Marks Church and Concord Church. The presence of the Bessemer City Reservoir and Westview Gardens Cem provides specific points of interest for those studying the local utility infrastructure and genealogical sites of the region.
