About this map

Bentons Crossroads and Unionville anchor this portion of Union County, reflecting a landscape where long-standing rural junctions meet modern residential expansion. The map detail highlights a dense network of suburban developments such as Camelot, Pinedell, and Dogwood Acres, which have transformed the area once defined by agricultural fields and timber stands. Water management is a visible priority, with numerous man-made features like Lake Minehaha, Baucom Lake, and the larger Lake Twitty serving the growing population centers.

Industrial and aviation history is represented by the Baker Quarry and its associated Baker Quarry Lake, alongside local flight centers like Goose Creek Airport and Edwards Airport. These features, tucked among the meandering paths of Goose Creek and Stewarts Creek, illustrate how the region's 21st-century infrastructure is built directly into the drainage patterns of the Piedmont. Genealogists and local historians can trace the transition from crossroads like Fowler Crossroads to the sprawling residential footprints that now characterize the area near Bakers.
