2022 Map of Lilesville

About this map

Lilesville sits at the intersection of rail and road commerce in Anson County, where the CSX Transportation line cuts through the Piedmont landscape. The area is defined by its proximity to the Pee Dee River, which forms the boundary with Richmond County and influences the local topography through its tributaries like Smith Creek and Jones Creek. The map documents a rural landscape transitioning between traditional settlements and industrial resource extraction, notably at the B V Hedrick Sand and Gravel Lake and Bonsal Company Lake. For those researching family history, several prominent burial sites are preserved across the quadrangle, including the Cedar Creek Meeting House Cem and the Battle-Lindsey Cem. Smaller communities such as Gravelton, Pee Dee, and Cairo remain connected by a network of state roads, maintaining the region's character as a crossroads of eastern North Carolina.
