Fencing a town that grew from one square mile
Huntersville's original 1873 footprint was only about a square mile, centered on the Charlotte and Statesville Railroad depot, with cotton farms filling in the land around it. Decades of growth along the Lake Norman corridor since then have carved that farmland into modern subdivisions with their own surveyed boundaries.
What that means for property lines
A lot near Huntersville's original rail-town core may still carry boundary lines drawn when the surrounding land was farmland, while a newer Lake Norman-area subdivision has a more recent, more precise plat. Either way, a current survey settles exactly where a new fence should sit before materials go in the ground.
