1970 Map of Lake Norman North

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Lake Norman dominates this landscape, its dendritic shoreline reaching deep into the peninsulas of Iredell, Catawba, and Lincoln counties. This 1970 field check captures the region shortly after the reservoir’s creation, showing the transformation of the Catawba River valley. Established rural communities like Sherrills Ford and Terrell sit on the western banks, while the eastern side features the Mooresville Airport and the community of Doolie. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of numerous country houses of worship and burial grounds, including Motts Grove Ch, McKendree Ch, and the Williamson Cem near the water's edge. Industrial and transport infrastructure is also evident, from the Southern railroad tracks to the Powerplant and various boat ramps that signify the area's shift toward a recreation-based economy.
