2016 Map of Stony Point

About this map

Stony Point serves as the primary community in this Piedmont landscape, situated where the borders of Alexander, Iredell, and Catawba counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Buffalo Shoals Cr, Third Cr, and Elk Shoals Cr, which drain southward toward the significant expanse of Lake Lookout. This reservoir shoreline is home to the developed area of Sunrise Beach, reflecting the region's mid-century shift toward lakefront recreation. Away from the water, the landscape remains characterized by small rural nodes such as Bradford Crossroads, Sharon, and Scotts. Genealogists may find interest in Beulah Cem and family-named landmarks like Rogers Farm Ln and Smith Farm Rd. The presence of the Flying BJ Airport and a grid of well-established rural routes illustrates the evolution of transportation and land use in this part of North Carolina.
