About this map

Statesville serves as the focal point of this Iredell County landscape, where the eastern corporate limits meet a network of rural communities and rolling creek basins. The area is defined by the convergence of major transit arteries, marked by Interchange 54 and Interchange 154, which cut through a terrain deeply rooted in local congregational history. A high density of rural houses of worship, including Bethany Ch, Gays Chapel, and Chestnut Grove Ch, illustrates the settlement patterns of the surrounding countryside.

Tracing the path of the Old Grade Railroad near the Ebenezer Sch reveals the legacy of earlier transportation routes that once serviced this agricultural region. The landscape transitions from the developed eastern edge of the city to the quieter outskirts of Abilene and Elmwood, punctuated by the winding courses of Fourth Creek and Fifth Creek. This map captures the tension between suburban expansion and the preservation of historic landmarks like Belmont Cem.
