2016 Map of Gold Hill

About this map

Gold Hill and Liberty anchor this landscape along the complex borders of Rowan, Cabarrus, Stanly, and Davidson counties. The terrain is defined by the expansive waters of High Rock Lake and its many finger-like inlets, including those fed by Squirrel Run and Panther Point Cr. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of historical burial grounds such as Saint Peters Cem and Morgan Cem to newer developments and the Gold Hill Airport. The drainage patterns of Little Buffalo Cr, Reedy Cr, and Riles Cr carve through the woodland and fields, while the road network connects these rural pockets to the regional corridor of Highway 52. Notable local landmarks like Panther Point and the curiously named Lonesome Field suggest long-standing local nomenclature preserved through generations of land use.
