About this map

Kings Mountain serves as the central hub of this 2013 survey, where industrial and natural landscapes converge along the Norfolk Southern railroad. The presence of the Kings Mountain Mica Company Lake and the Foote Mineral Tailings Pond highlights the area's significant mineral extraction history, particularly in the production of mica and lithium. This industrial footprint contrasts with the preserved wildlands of Kings Mountain State Park to the southwest and the prominent peaks of Crowders Mountain and The Pinnacle to the east.

Water resources are a defining characteristic of the landscape, from the municipal supply at Kings Mountain City Lake Number Two to recreational waters like Lake Montonia and Shorts Lake. The map details the transition from the city's residential streets, such as Waco Rd and Walker St, into rural gaps like Sherrars Gap and Stepps Gap. The diverse topography is further punctuated by local landmarks including the Mountain View Golf Course and Camp Rotary.
