2013 Map of Millersville

About this map

The Catawba River and its expansive reservoir at Lake Hickory define the landscape of this region north of Hickory. The map illustrates a transition from the developing residential edges of Saint Stephens to the more rural, stream-dissected terrain of Alexander County. Settlement patterns follow the winding course of the Lower Little River, with small communities like Millersville and Taylorsville Beach serving as local focal points. The topography is shaped by prominent rises such as Barrett Mountain and Buck Hill, which overlook a network of creek valleys including Elk Shoal Cr and Naked Cr. Local aviation and recreation are represented by the Alexander County Airport and the riverside Oxford Park, while the Grace and Truth Bible Camp occupies a prominent position on the shoreline. The road network, including Alspaugh Dam Rd and Teague Town Rd, reflects a history of small farms and family-held tracts across the rolling North Carolina Piedmont.
