About this map

Lake Norman dominates this 2019 survey, serving as the central geographic feature where Lincoln and Mecklenburg counties meet. The map documents the extensive residential development and complex road networks that define modern communities like Huntersville, Cornelius, and Westport. Despite this contemporary growth, the landscape preserves several ancestral sites, including Bethel Church Cem and Torrence Chapel Cem.

South of the main lake, the Catawba River flows past The Neck and into Mountain Island Lake, revealing the interconnected waterway system that shaped this region's history. Traces of older river crossings and local landmarks remain visible at Cowans Ford and Allison Ferry, while smaller water bodies like Stillwell Lake and Kelly Lake sit tucked away near Hicks Crossroads. This map provides a detailed view of how the shoreline has evolved around features like Sifford Island and Duck Cove.
