2019 Map of Oakboro

About this map

The town of Oakboro and its surrounding rural communities are situated at a unique geographic crossroads where Stanly, Union, and Anson counties meet. This area, documented in the 21st century, maintains a landscape defined by its historical settlements and a dense network of local tributaries including Big Bear Creek and Richardson Creek. The map reveals the community-focused layout of the Piedmont, where centers like Big Lick and Red Cross are connected by a web of local roads such as Hatley-Burris Rd and Barbees Grove Rd. For those researching local lineages, the abundance of rural burial sites—such as Oakboro Cem, Rocky Mount Church Cem, and Euto Cem—alongside longstanding houses of worship like Philadelphia Church and Mount Moriah Methodist Church, provides a clear view of the area's established social and religious geography.
