2016 Map of Sanford

About this map

Sanford serves as the central hub of this 2016 landscape, surrounded by a ring of satellite communities including Jonesboro Heights, Cool Springs, and Tramway. The area is defined by a complex network of waterways, from the Big Buffalo Creek system to the Upper Little River, which creates a varied terrain of ponds and creek beds. Educational and aviation interests are represented by the Central Carolina Community College and the Dean Wings Past Airport near the southern boundary. To the south, the settlement of Lemon Springs and the McQueen Cemetery provide specific points of interest for local history researchers. The map reveals the modern transition of this Lee County region, where residential developments like Quail Ridge sit alongside established natural features like Winstead Pond and Willett Lake.
