About this map

Lake Gaston dominates the landscape on this 2013 survey, reflecting the geography of the Roanoke River basin at the Virginia-North Carolina border. In the north, the Goodes Ferry Bridge provides a crossing point near Beechwood, while the community of Bracey serves as a central hub near the intersection of Old Saint Tammany Rd and Bracy Station. The settlement pattern is characterized by scattered rural communities like Palmer Springs and Palmer Crossroads, connected by a network of named roads such as Alexander Ferry Rd and Mineral Springs Rd.

Aviation activity is noted at the Martindale Executive Airpark in the southeast, situated near Paschall and the complex inlets of the lake. Numerous named tributaries, including Smith Cr, Reedy Br, and Blue Mud Cr, feed into the reservoir, defining the local drainage and topography. The map illustrates a contemporary balance between recreational water use at River Ridge Pond and the enduring rural infrastructure of Mecklenburg County.
