2013 Map of Denver

About this map

Denver and the surrounding Catawba County landscape are defined by the expansive eastern shoreline of Lake Norman and a series of historic road junctions. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations such as Anderson Mountain and several small aviation facilities, including Little Mountain Airport and Laneys Airport. Traditional settlement patterns are visible at Drums Crossroads, Olivers Crossroads, and Killian Crossroads, where local road networks converge near watercourses like S Fork Mountain Cr and Reed Cr. The map captures the suburban growth and recreation-focused development near the lake's edge, contrasting with the more rural interior marked by features like Rock Springs and the headwaters of Forney Cr. Significant drainage systems, including Killian Cr and Balls Cr, illustrate the complex hydrology feeding into the larger reservoir system.
