2019 Map of Lowesville

About this map

Machpelah and Mariposa anchor a landscape defined by rolling hills and small watercourses on the border of Lincoln and Gaston counties. Historically significant thoroughfares like Vesuvius Furnace Rd point toward the region's early industrial heritage, while a dense network of burial grounds—including Tuckers Grove Methodist Cem, Machpelah Cem, and Hills Chapel Cem—provides a rich record for genealogical study. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Reese Mtn and the waters of Leepers Creek, which are crossed by local landmarks like the McClure Bridge and Reinhardt Bridge. Toward the southern edge, the growing community of Stanley and the settlement of Alexis show the transition from rural woodlands to established neighborhoods, all while maintaining proximity to natural features like Episcopal Church Lake and Catawba Springs.
