2019 Map of Monroe

About this map

Monroe serves as the regional hub for this part of Union County, characterized by a dense grid of residential streets and arterial roads like W Roosevelt Blvd and Morgan Mill Rd. The landscape beyond the city center is defined by the winding course of Richardson Creek and its many tributaries, including Bearskin Creek and Adams Br. This 2019 survey documents a transition from the urban core of Monroe to the more dispersed communities of Alton and Roughedge. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the countryside, from larger municipal locations like Hillcrest Cem to remote rural grounds such as Belmont Church Cem, Macedonia Church Cem, and the Alton Presbyterian Church Cem. The map illustrates how historical church sites like New Hope Cem and Turner Church Cem remain as landmarks within a network of farm-to-market roads.
