2013 Map of Stony Point

About this map

Stony Point and its neighboring communities of Sharon and Scotts sit within a landscape defined by the drainage of the Catawba River and the expanding waters of Lake Lookout. This modern survey illustrates the transition from the upland creek systems of Elk Shoals Cr and Third Cr toward the riverfront developments at Sunrise Beach and the curious settlement of Catfish. The local infrastructure is deeply tied to the land's hydrology, with roads like Island Ford hinting at earlier crossing points before modern bridges spanned the various branches. Notable for local researchers is the placement of Bradford Crossroads and the Flying BJ Airport, showing how aviation and small-town junctions continue to serve this rural Iredell County corridor. The network of family-named roads, such as Rogers Farm Ln and Lentz Rd, reflects a pattern of long-standing land ownership that persists alongside newer suburban growth.
