About this map

Pineville and the southern edge of Charlotte define the North Carolina side of this borderland survey, while Fort Mill anchors the South Carolina terrain to the south. The landscape is a network of small creeks and branches, including Sugar Creek and Steele Creek, flowing toward the Catawba River. Notable for its commemorative geography, the map identifies the James K. Polk Birthplace and several historic congregations such as McClintock Ch and China Grove Ch.

Infrastructure from the late 1960s and mid-1970s revisions shows the area's growth, featuring an Amusement Park complete with an Aerial Tramway and Monorail. These modern developments sit alongside older rural landmarks like the Riverview Sch and family-named cemeteries such as Dinkins Cem. The Southern railroad line cuts through the center of the sheet, providing a corridor of transport between the expanding suburban fringes and the textile-influenced lowlands of the York and Mecklenburg county line.
