2010 Map of Sanford

About this map

Sanford and its surrounding Lee County neighborhoods are mapped here during a period of significant suburban expansion and industrial activity. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Upper Little River and numerous tributaries like Big Buffalo Creek and Persimmon Creek, which are segmented by man-made features including Holiday Lake and Oldhams Lake. Residential developments such as Jonesboro Heights, Forest Hills, and McCracken Heights illustrate the city's outward growth, while the Sanford-Lee County Brick Field points to the region's long-standing connection to the clay and brick-making industry. To the south, the settlement of Lemon Springs and the rural crossroads of Tramway represent older community hubs. Genealogists may find the McQueen Cemetery near the southern boundary particularly useful for tracing local family history in this Piedmont landscape.
