About this map

Cherryville anchors the southern edge of this Gaston County landscape, where the street grid of the town center transitions into a network of rural roads and established family farmsteads. The surrounding countryside is defined by agricultural pockets like Beam Dairy Farm, River Taw Farms, and Half Halt Farms, reflecting a persistent dairy and livestock economy. Small rural crossroads and settlements such as Flay, Orleans, and Dora are scattered across the northern reaches, connected by thoroughfares such as Bess Chapel Church Rd and Fairview School Rd.

Hydrographic features shape the terrain, with Buffalo Creek and its tributaries, including Little Buffalo Creek and Glenn Creek, carving paths toward the south. Near the town limits, researchers can trace the drainage of Lick Fork and Suck Creek near Hendricks Lake. The map reveals the intricate local naming conventions of the era, from memorial routes like Doyle Beam Memorial Rd to functional landmarks like Baker Crossroads and the residential area of Hidden Valley.
