About this map

Windsor Hills and South Albemarle anchor the southern reaches of the city, where the suburban grid transitions into the creeks and ridges of rural Stanly County. This 2013 survey shows the organized growth of residential communities like Heathwood, Eastwood Park, and Anderson Heights clustered along the major transit corridors. Cultural landmarks such as the Stanly County Fairgrounds and the Badin Road Drive-In represent the local social fabric during this era of modernization.

Water plays a central role in the landscape, from the smaller flows of Little Long Creek and Poplin Branch to the expansive Lake Tillery appearing in the southeast corner. These drainages define the placement of older crossroads like Porter and Endy. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of established neighborhoods like Royal Park and the developing fringes at North Springhaven, documenting the town's footprint before subsequent decade-long expansions changed the character of its outskirts.
