About this map

Grover sits at the heart of this 1976 orthophotograph, straddling the border between North Carolina and South Carolina. This unique aerial perspective, produced in cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Natural and Economic Resources, reveals the intricate land use patterns of Cleveland County during the mid-1970s. The visual data contrasts the dense, wooded sections of the Piedmont with clear-cut agricultural fields and the evolving transportation corridors that define the region's movement.

North of the main settlement, Mudpine appears as a distinct cluster of activity, while the drainage of Buffalo Creek winds through the northern landscape. This photographic survey captures the texture of the earth itself—from the precise geometries of rural homesteads to the broad scars of industrial or roadway development—providing a literal view of the terrain that standard topographic lines often abstract.
