2016 Map of Denver

About this map

Lake Norman dominates the eastern horizon of this 2016 survey, where the waters of the Catawba River meet the eastern edge of Lincoln and Catawba counties. This modern landscape is defined by its transition from traditional Piedmont crossroads into growing residential communities. Historic hubs like Drums Crossroads, Olivers Crossroads, and Killian Crossroads anchor the road network, while the village of Denver serves as a central point of activity. The topography is marked by distinct elevations such as Anderson Mountain and Little Mountain, which rise above the drainages of S Fork Mountain Cr and Killian Cr. In the southeast, the development of Westport along the lakefront illustrates the shift toward water-oriented settlement. Local landmarks like Rock Springs and Jones Lake further characterize this region, where long-established family names are preserved in the myriad of secondary roads and local creeks.
