2010 Map of Stony Point

About this map

Stony Point and the surrounding rural communities of Iredell County are defined by a network of creeks and small-scale water management projects. Along the southern edge, the Catawba River is harnessed at the Lookout Shoals Dam-Reservoir, which creates the waterfront setting for Sunrise Beach. The landscape is etched by a complex drainage system including Buffalo Shoals Creek, Third Creek, and Goble Creek, where specialized infrastructure like Third Creek Watershed Dam Number Nine and the C A Lackey Dam manages the local watershed. This 2010 survey illustrates a transition from the larger agricultural tracts of Sharon and Bradford Crossroads to more residential developments. Local history is anchored by sites like Beulah Cemetery and the geographic landmark at Island Ford, while the legacy of early commerce is preserved in road names like Paul Payne Store Rd.
