2016 Map of Monroe

About this map

Monroe serves as the focal point of this Union County survey, showcasing the city's residential and commercial street grid as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of religious and memorial sites, including Altan Presbyterian Church Cem and the Lakeland Memorial Park Cem, reflecting the area's deep-rooted community heritage. Outside the urban center, the landscape transitions into the rural communities of Alton and Roughedge, where the drainage patterns of Richardson Creek and its many tributaries like Bearskin Cr and Adams Br shaped the development of early farmsteads. Genealogists will find particular value in the numerous small burial grounds and rural houses of worship, such as Turner Church Cem and Macedonia Church, which are preserved alongside modern infrastructure like Dickerson Blvd and the Old Charlotte Hwy.
