1993 Map of Kings Mountain

About this map

Kings Mountain straddles the state line between North Carolina and South Carolina, serving as a focal point for regional history and conservation in the early 1990s. The landscape is dominated by the prominent ridges of Crowders Mountain and The Pinnacle, with large protected areas including Crowders Mountain State Park and Kings Mountain State Park preserving the Piedmont terrain. The presence of Kings Mountain National Military Park at the southwestern edge highlights the area's Revolutionary War significance, while industrial activity is evidenced by scattered mines and a quarry near the city center. Smaller communities like Mountain View and East Side surround the main town, supported by local institutions such as Boyds Mem Ch and Pisgah Cem. Water features like Lake Mintonia and Sparrow Springs Lake provide drainage across the county lines, while the local infrastructure includes a WT Filtration Plant and several Industrial Waste Ponds.
