2023 Map of Mountain Island Lake

About this map

Mountain Island Lake and the winding course of Long Creek dominate the landscape of the Mecklenburg-Gaston county line, where the suburban expansion of Charlotte meets established rural communities. This area is exceptionally rich in genealogical landmarks, documented through numerous historic burial grounds such as Hopewell Presbyterian Church Cem and Saint Marks Church Cem. The map reveals a transition from the structured residential blocks of Huntersville and Mount Holly to the scattered settlements of Shuffletown, Paw Creek, and Toddville. The presence of the CSX Transportation rail corridor and major thoroughfares like Brookshire Blvd and Rozzelles Ferry Rd highlights the transportation networks that have shaped this corridor. Notable features such as The Neck on the lake and the Mecklenburg Wildlife Club Lake illustrate the area's mix of recreation and conservation within the Piedmont region.
