2002 Map of Stanfield

About this map

The Rocky River carves a winding path through the Piedmont, serving as a natural boundary between Stanly, Cabarrus, and Union Counties. By the early 2000s, this landscape maintained its rural character, anchored by the crossroads of Midland and Stanfield. The map reveals a dense network of country churches that have historically defined these local communities, including Philadelphia Ch, Loves Chapel, and Morgans Memorial Ch. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by a Sandpit near Midland, a regional Substation, and a significant cross-county Pipeline. Evidence of community heritage is visible in the placement of the Kinza Memorial and numerous small family cemeteries. The terrain is deeply dissected by tributaries like Muddy Creek and Grassy Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that shaped early settlement and road placement in this part of North Carolina.
