About this map

Polkton serves as the primary hub of activity in this central Anson County landscape, situated along the southern edge of the survey. The town's grid is flanked by family and community landmarks, including the Williams Cem and Richmond-Sturdivant Cem. To the north, the terrain is defined by a network of drainage basins including Lanes Creek and Brown Creek, which shape the rural character of smaller settlements like Sugar Town and Griffins Crossroads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial grounds and places of worship, such as Saron Church and the Cedar Grove Cem near Kikers. The map documents a landscape of numerous small tributaries, including Pinch Gut Cr, Haileys Br, and Deep Bottom Br, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Ansonville-Polkton Rd and Plank Rd as they navigate the varied elevations north of the railroad corridor.
