About this map

Marshville and Peachland anchor the northern corridor of this landscape along the border of Union and Anson Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, with the meandering Lanes Creek carving a deep path south through the center of the sheet, joined by tributaries like Beaverdam Creek and Brown Creek. The mapping reveals a rural community structure organized around intersections and houses of worship, such as Lanes Creek Ch and Mt Carmel Ch.

Further south, smaller rural hubs such as Sturdivants Crossroads, Meltonville, and White Store show the settlement patterns of the late 20th century. The inclusion of purple-ink revisions from the mid-1980s provides a layer of chronological change, highlighting newer developments like the Sewage Disposal Pond and Filtration Plant near Wide Mouth, reflecting the modernization of local infrastructure while the surrounding timberlands and family cemeteries remain largely unchanged.
