About this map

Monroe and its northern rural outskirts are defined by a network of historic family-named crossroads and small-scale aviation facilities in this modern topographic study. The landscape transition from the city of Monroe toward Unionville is marked by numerous family burial grounds and small community sanctuaries, including the Broom Family Cem, Benton Family Cem, and High Hill Church Cem. The terrain is drained by a complex system of creeks such as Bearskin Cr and the S Fork Crooked Cr, which historically shaped the placement of settlements like Hemby Bridge and Stallings. Local aviation is a notable feature of this region, with the Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport, Goose Creek Airport, and Edwards Airport all positioned within a short distance of one another, reflecting the area's development as a suburban and transportation hub for Union County.
