About this map

Lake Gaston dominates this modern landscape, spanning the state line between Mecklenburg County, Virginia, and Warren County, North Carolina. This map illustrates the heavily indented shoreline and peninsula-based residential developments that define the area, connected by thoroughfares like State Rte 903 and Wise Five Forks Rd. While recreation and lakefront living are prominent, the map preserves older inland identities at Bracey, Joyceville, and Five Forks.

South of the water, the Nocarva Airport sits just below the state boundary, surrounded by a network of rural routes such as Peete Farm Rd and Cole Farm Rd. Numerous water bodies like Miles Cr, Hawtree Cr, and Sixpound Cr drain into the lake, illustrating the complex hydrologic system that existed long before the reservoir was filled. The map serves as a contemporary record of how transportation and settlement patterns have adapted to this expansive inland waterway.
