2019 Map of Gold Hill

About this map

The community of Gold Hill serves as a focal point in this southern Rowan County landscape, where the convergence of Rowan, Cabarrus, and Stanly counties creates a complex network of property and jurisdictional lines. The area is defined by its numerous watercourses, including the westward-flowing Little Buffalo Cr and Riles Cr, which drain the undulating terrain toward larger basins. To the north, the shoreline near Panther Point shows the modern character of the land as it meets the water, while interior landmarks like Lonesome Field and Gold Hill Airport speak to more recent land use patterns. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the clear positioning of Saint Peters Cem, Morgan Cem, and the Gold Hill Cem, which sit alongside historic transit routes like Bringle Ferry Rd and Stokes Ferry Rd.
