This geologic map covers an area of the Piedmont along the North Carolina–South Carolina State line. It straddles a regional geological boundary between the Inner Piedmont terrane and the Kings Mountain sequence on the western flank of the Carolina terrane. The Kings Mountain and Grover quadrangles are located along the Interstate Highway 85 corridor. They encompass most of Kings Mountain National Military Park, Crowders Mountain State Park in North Carolina, and much of Kings Mountain State Park in South Carolina. The area has a remarkable diversity of rock formations and mineral resources, and mining has played a significant role in its history from the 1700s to the present.
