About this map

Lake Norman dominates the southern landscape of this Iredell County region, its many-fingered inlets such as Stumpy Creek and Norwood Creek reaching deep into the Piedmont terrain. The area's historical development is anchored by the Norfolk Southern railway corridor, which passes through the established communities of Barium Springs and Troutman. These settlements serve as hubs for the surrounding rural crossroads and small residential clusters like Kyles Crossroads and Eufola.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important burial grounds including Saint Martins Cemetery and Pine Grove Cemetery. The map also captures the complex shoreline geography where the Iredell and Catawba county line follows the former river channel now submerged beneath the lake. From the Long Island Airport to the community of Bells Crossroads, the survey documents a modern landscape still defined by its traditional transport routes and the massive 20th-century water management projects that reshaped the Catawba River valley.
