Geography

Lake Norman of Catawba is located in the southeast corner of Catawba County. It consists of several residential developments that occupy the western shore of Lake Norman, a large reservoir on the Catawba River, as well as the shores of numerous inlets on the western side of the lake. The CDP is bounded on the east by the center of the Catawba River, forming the Catawba County/Iredell County line; on the south by the Lincoln County line; and on the west and north by several rural roads, extending as far north as Long Island Road. The CDP includes the unincorporated communities of Terrell, Sherrills Ford, Monbo, and Long Island.

North Carolina Highway 150 crosses the southern part of the CDP, passing through the center of Terrell and leading east 11 miles (18 km) to Mooresville and west 17 miles (27 km) to Lincolnton.

The Marshall Steam Station, a coal power plant operated by Duke Energy, is located in the CDP just northeast of downtown Terrell. On December 11, 2014, Duke Energy, to repair a rusted, leaking pipe, received approval from North Carolina to dump Coal Ash (containing arsenic, lead, thallium and mercury, among other heavy metals) from the Marshall Steam Station into Lake Norman. [6]

On October 3, 2015, Duke reported that a sinkhole had formed at the base of the Marshall Steam Station dam north of Charlotte on Lake Norman. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) says Duke placed a liner in the hole and filled it with crushed stone. [7]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 32.4 square miles (83.8 km2), of which 23.8 square miles (61.7 km2) is land and 8.5 square miles (22.1 km2), or 26.35%, is water. [5]
