Gastonia and Lincolnton anchor this detailed 1914 survey of the Piedmont region, showing the industrial and social landscape of Gaston and Lincoln counties before the mid-century expansion. The map highlights the early 20th-century textile economy with landmarks like Loray Mills and the McAdenville junction. A dense network of railroads, including the Seaboard Air Line and the Piedmont and Northern, crisscrosses the terrain, connecting small mill towns and rural centers like Dallas and Mount Holly.
