'''Modern parallels.''' The modern roads that most closely match the old Catawba and Northern Trail are North Carolina State Highway 16 from Wilkesboro south to the Gaston County north border. From there a road parallel to the west side of the Catawba River such as NC State Highway 273 to South Carolina, and South Carolina State Road 274 south to Rock Hill would approximate the old route. | '''Modern parallels.'''
