About this map

Polkton and the surrounding Anson County countryside appear here in contemporary detail, anchored by the South Piedmont Community College L L Polk Campus and the local street grid. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of Lanes Creek, which winds through the center of the quadrangle, and Brown Creek to the southeast. These waterways and the ridges between them have long shaped the settlement patterns of rural communities like Burnsville, Kikers, and Sugar Town.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of numerous family and community sites, including the Richmond - Sturdivant Cem and several church-affiliated grounds such as Cedar Grove Church Cem and Saron Church Cem. The map traces the modern corridor of Old US Hwy 74 through Polkton, illustrating how historic transit routes at Griffins Crossroads continue to organize this Piedmont terrain.
