About this map

Crowders Creek and its many tributaries, including South Fork Crowders Creek and Beaverdam Creek, carve a complex drainage pattern across this landscape south of the city. The transition from suburban residential developments like Blackwood Park and Wesley Park in the north to more dispersed rural communities such as Crowders and Boogertown in the south illustrates the area's ongoing expansion. Several local landmarks ground the geography, from the Gastonia Municipal Airport and Gaston Country Club Lake to the prominent Jackson Knob.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the mapped locations of Gaston Memorial Cemetery, Firestone Memorial Cemetery, and Firestone Cemetery, providing precise locations for ancestral research. The presence of specialized sites like Sunny Acres Farm Lake and the Gastonia Municipal Golf Course reflects a landscape balancing agriculture with late-century recreational development.
