About this map

Kings Mountain sits at a geographic crossroads in this 2011 survey, where the industrial legacy of the region meets the prominent ridges of the Piedmont. The map documents significant mineral extraction infrastructure, including the Kings Mountain Mica Company and various tailings ponds associated with the Foote Mineral Tailings Pond. These industrial sites are juxtaposed against the protected landscape of Kings Mountain State Park and the distinct peaks of Crowders Mountain and The Pinnacle.

A complex network of water management is evident through numerous reservoirs such as Kings Mountain Number One Lake and Lake Montonia. Local history is anchored by landmarks like Pisgah Cemetery and the Kings Mountain Post Office, while the surrounding terrain is defined by numerous gaps and knobs, including Sherrars Gap and Henry Knob. The presence of residential enclaves like Mountain View and Love Valley shows the continued development surrounding the historic core.
