About this map

Rocky River winds through the heart of this landscape, carving a boundary between the communities of Locust, Stanfield, Midland, and Fairview. The map reveals a dense network of country roads and family-named landmarks that speak to the region's deep agricultural and religious roots. Numerous historic churchyards and burial grounds are documented, including the Antioch Methodist Church Cem and the Austin Family Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Union and Stanly Counties.

Evidence of local aviation and community gathering spots appear at Mc Gee Field and Tucker Field, while the hydrology is defined by many named tributaries such as Muddy Cr and Rock Hole Cr. The map illustrates the contemporary rural character of the area just before the continued expansion of the greater Charlotte region, preserving the locations of old farm-to-market routes like Renee Ford Rd and Garmon Mill Rd.
