About this map

Lincolnton and its western outskirts are defined by the winding course of the South Fork Catawba River and the small agricultural communities that dot the Piedmont landscape. This 2016 survey highlights several historical burial grounds including the Old White Church Cem and the Old Methodist Church Cem, reflecting the early religious foundations of the area. To the south, the settlement of Laboratory sits near the river, while the town of Cherryville anchors the southwestern corner, featuring the Cherryville City Reservoir and Cherryville Country Club Lake.

The landscape is etched with local history through family-named roads like Howards Creek Mill Rd and Jim Wise Rd, suggesting the historical importance of milling and farming. Smaller communities such as Crouse, Roseland, and Johnstown are connected by a network of creeks including Rockdam Cr and Indian Cr. The map captures a mix of residential growth and long-standing rural landmarks, providing a clear view of the Lincoln Co Gaston Co border as it cuts through these established neighborhoods and farmland.
