2019 Map of Longview

About this map

The boundary of Burke and Catawba Counties defines this landscape of the western Piedmont, where the industrial and transport corridor of I-40 and Us HWY 70 connects a string of mill towns and crossroads. The city of Hickory and its neighbor Longview anchor the northeastern portion of the map, while smaller communities like Icard, Hildebran, and Henry River line the established road and rail networks. To the north, Rhodhiss sits along the river, and the Hickory Regional Airport occupies the high ground near Penelope. The southern reaches transition into more fragmented terrain, marked by isolated peaks such as Baker Mtn and Piney Mtn. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Burke Chapel United Methodist Church and the Brookford Cemetery, while the waters of Henry Fork and Jacob Fork drain the winding valleys toward the Catawba River basin.
