About this map

Mount Holly and its surrounding mill towns define this industrial and residential corridor along the banks of the Catawba River and its western fork. The landscape is marked by numerous tight-knit communities including McAdenville, Lowell, and Stanley, reflecting the dense settlement patterns typical of the Gaston and Mecklenburg county border region. Modern infrastructure is visible through the Sodyeco Lagoon and various reservoirs like Rowland Lake Number One, while the topography is punctuated by the elevation of Spencer Mountain.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Mauney Cemetery, Hillcrest Cemetery, and Edgewood Cemetery. The map also captures specialized landmarks like Aviary Gardens and the industrial junctions of Belmont Junction and McAdenville Junction, providing a detailed look at the rail and road network connecting these historic textile and manufacturing hubs.
