2016 Map of Cherryville

About this map

Cherryville anchors the southeast corner of this survey, where the borders of Gaston, Lincoln, and Cleveland Counties converge. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Muddy Fork and the winding course of Buffalo Creek, which drain a region characterized by small crossroads settlements and family-named homesteads. Rural centers like Fallston, Baker Crossroads, and Flay are connected by a network of farm roads, including Bess Chapel Church Rd and Kadesh Church Rd, reflecting the area's agricultural and communal roots. The presence of Beam Mill and the Laughing Crow Airport highlights the mix of traditional industry and small-scale aviation that shaped this Piedmont corridor. Researchers will find numerous cemeteries and church landmarks scattered throughout the hills, providing a detailed look at the settlement patterns that have endured in this part of North Carolina.
