About this map

Kings Mountain Reservoir, also known locally as Moss Lake, dominates the central landscape of this Cleveland County region. The reservoir is fed by Buffalo Creek and Suck Cr, creating a complex shoreline that defines the residential patterns of communities like Stony Point and Light Oak. This survey provides a clear view of the rural-to-suburban transition between the larger centers of Shelby to the southwest and Cherryville in the northeast corner.

Several local landmarks offer value for genealogical research, including Capernaum Cem near Waco and Elizabeth Cem on the outskirts of Shelby. The map documents the boundary line between Gaston Co and Cleveland Co, tracing how these jurisdictions meet amidst the headwaters of Muddy Fork and Persimmon Cr. Educational and industrial footprints are noted through sites like the Cleveland Community College campus, reflecting the area's modern development.
