About this map

Goodsonville and Boger City anchor the northern reaches of this landscape, marking the eastward expansion of the Lincolnton area. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the S Fork Catawba River, which flows through the southern section near the communities of High Shoals and Hardins. This corridor reflects a history of small riverside settlements where water power once dictated the local economy, now transitioned into a residential and light industrial fabric.

To the east, the Lincolnton-Lincoln County Regional Airport represents the modernization of the county's infrastructure, while scattered smaller settlements like Iron Station and Salem maintain their distinct geographic identities. Researchers can trace the legacy of local transport via the Miller Siding railroad feature and the numerous named tributaries such as Hoyle Cr and Lick Run that feed into the Catawba basin.
