About this map

Gastonia and its southern reaches define this 2016 study, showcasing the dense residential growth and suburban expansion into South Gastonia and Boogertown. The map traces the transition from urban centers to the agricultural and recreational lands near the South Carolina border, marked by prominent features like the Gastonia Municipal Airport and the sprawling Gaston Country Club Lake. Local history is anchored by numerous spiritual and memorial sites, including Olney Church and the Mount Pleasant Church Cem, which reflect the area's long-established communities.

Water plays a critical role in the landscape, with Crowders Creek and the S Fork Crowders Cr winding through the terrain toward the state line. Topographical highlights such as Jackson Knob rise above the surrounding valleys, while smaller settlements like Crowders and Bowling Green offer a look at the rural character preserved amidst modern development. Transportation patterns are anchored by established crossings such as Boyd Bridge over the local creek systems.
