About this map

Leepers Creek and Killian Cr weave through the rolling landscape of eastern Lincoln and northern Gaston Counties, defining a region where small unincorporated settlements like Machpelah and Lucia preserve a deep sense of place. The landscape is dotted with numerous church-related burial grounds, such as the Tuckers Grove Methodist Cem and the Gold Hill Church Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of North Carolina. Historically significant names like Vesuvius Furnace Rd point to the area's industrial heritage, while the town of Stanley anchor the southern edge of the survey. The presence of Catawba Springs and several local bridges, including Reinhardt Bridge and McClure Bridge, illustrates how early travel patterns were dictated by the numerous watercourses like Stanley Cr and Johnson Cr that intersect the county line.
