Thanks Everyone, I was just browsing around the Lincoln Co site and stumbled upon the History of Lincoln County once again. I had forgotten about this great narrative. It states: "Catawba was set up from Lincoln by an east and west line passing one and a half miles north of Lincolnton. In 1846, the southern part was set off into the county of Gaston, by a line to pass four and a half miles south of Lincolnton, and four miles of Catawba ceded back to Lincoln." ======================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.

Try this site > http://www.topozone.com/ < You can at least probably get a close longitude and latitude here. You can also buy these USGS topo maps at most any "ourdoorsman" type store that caters to hikers, and they have great landmarks noted on them. I found them very useful when doing title searches in western NC.
