About this map

Albemarle anchors the landscape of Stanly County in this 2016 survey, where the city's street grid transitions into the complex drainage networks of the Piedmont. The map detail highlights the central role of institutional and community landmarks, from the Stanly Community Coll campus to several historic burial grounds including Old Freedom Cem and Poplin Grove Cem. Water dominates the eastern and western peripheries, with Long Lake situated to the northwest and the reach of Lake Tillery appearing in the southeast corner.

To the south, the settlement of Porter serves as a secondary focal point, situated amidst a web of creek systems like Jacobs Cr and Little Cr. The survey illustrates the modern road network, such as City Lake Dr and Old Charlotte Rd, which connects these disparate water bodies and residential pockets. This record provides a clear view of the suburban and rural balance of the region as it appeared in the mid-2010s.
