About this map

The town of Waxhaw serves as the focal point of this Union County survey, illustrating the community's layout and its relationship to the surrounding landscape in the early 21st century. The geography is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Little Twelvemile Cr and Waxhaw Cr, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads and residential developments. These streams, along with smaller tributaries like McNeely Br and Price Mill Cr, reveal the natural drainage patterns of the Piedmont region.

Evidence of local growth is visible in the clusters of named subdivisions and the established center of Mineral Springs. To the northwest, Lake Number One and Lake Number Two mark significant local landmarks. The documentation by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a transition in land use, where long-standing family names on thoroughfares like Lester Davis Rd and Will Plyler Rd meet the expanding road networks of modern settlements like Union and Houston.
