The Catawba River serves as the dividing line between Alexander and Catawba Counties, forming the expansive Lake Hickory and its many inlets such as Reitzel Cove and Naked Cr. This 2019 survey documents the suburban landscape at the edges of Hickory and Conover, where modern developments like Oxford Park meet older landmarks. To the north, the terrain rises toward Barrett Mtn and Buck Hill, overlooking the Alexander County Airport and the community of Millersville. Local history is anchored by sites such as Saint Lukes Cem and Isenhour Park, while the hydrology is defined by the complex network of creeks including the Lower Little River and Elk Shoal Cr. The map details a transition from the dense residential grid in the south to the more dispersed settlements of Taylorsville Beach along the northern shore.
