2016 Map of Millersville

About this map

Lake Hickory and the Catawba River dominate the central landscape of this 2016 survey, where the waters divide Alexander and Catawba counties. The shoreline is densely populated with developments like Taylorsville Beach and Reitzel Cove, reflecting the mid-twentieth-century transformation of the river valley into a residential and recreational hub. To the north, the terrain rises toward Barrett Mtn and Buck Hill, where older rural road patterns like Millersville Rd and Hines Farm Rd persist alongside the village of Millersville. For those searching for family history, the map identifies local landmarks such as Saint Lukes Cem and Alexander County Airport, while the southern reaches show the steady expansion of Hickory, St. Stephens, and Conover. Numerous small tributaries, including Elk Shoal Cr and Naked Cr, continue to define the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement in this Piedmont region.
