About this map

Loray Mills stands as a focal point in this Gastonia landscape, anchoring a dense network of neighborhoods that characterize the northern reaches of the city. The area exhibits a complex pattern of residential growth, with established communities like Jenkins Heights, Oakland Park, and Love Park bordering the urban center. To the north, the town of Dallas serves as a secondary hub, separated from the city proper by the winding course of Long Creek.

The physical geography is defined by the transition from the developed lowlands toward the elevation of Pasour Mountain in the northwest. Water resources are prominent throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the managed waters of Rankin Lake and Gaston County Farm Lake to the natural drainage of the South Fork Catawba River. Industrial and utility footprints are evident near Smyre and the Gaston Landfill, reflecting the ongoing infrastructure requirements of this expanding Piedmont region.
