About this map

Wadesboro serves as the focal point of this mid-century North Carolina landscape, where the town's grid meets a radial network of roads and rail lines. Industry and community life are visible through sites like Wade Mills and the County Home, while the surrounding Anson County countryside is dotted with a high density of rural religious centers, including Hanna Ch, Mt Beulah Ch, and Pleasant Hill Ch.

The physical geography is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern flowing into the City Pond and Lake Moore. Numerous creeks such as Culpepper Creek and Derrills Creek carve through the terrain, flanked by family-named landmarks like the Bennett Cem. This edition, featuring 1980s photorevisions, highlights the evolution of the area as residential expansion moved toward the Twin Valley Country Club and South Wadesboro, while maintaining the established footprint of older sites like the Armory and Lookout Tower.
