2016 Map of Locust

About this map

Rocky River and Dutch Buffalo Cr carve through the landscape of the western Piedmont, framing a region defined by scattered agricultural settlements and small-town centers. This area spans the border of Cabarrus Co and Stanly Co, where historic sites like Barriers Mill and Georgeville speak to a long-standing rural economy. The mapping of Locust and Stanfield reveals the modern layout of these established communities, which grew along the local road networks and small watercourses such as Little Meadow Cr and Stony Run. Further east, the settlement of Red Cross serves as another focal point for this landscape. Aviation history is also marked on this sheet by the Willow Creek Airport, situated north of the more densely settled areas. From the waters of Oak Cliff Lake to the outskirts of Mount Pleasant, the map provides a look at the residential and rural patterns in North Carolina.
