About this map

Lake Norman dominates the southern landscape, where the waters of the Catawba River branch into numerous fingers including Hicks Creek, Rocky Creek, and Terrapin Creek. This 1993 revision, based on earlier 1960s aerial imagery, highlights the substantial footprint of Duke Power State Park along the lake's northern shores. The map captures the transition from rural crossroads like Kyles Crossroads and Bells Crossroads to more established hubs like Troutman and Barium Springs.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including the Home for Children and several country churches such as Trinity Ch and St Martins Ch. The Southern railroad line cuts north-south through the terrain, passing near the County Fairgrounds and the Troutman Cem. The western edge of the map shows the shoreline of Long Island and the settlement of Monbo, which sits at the edge of the expansive lake system.
