About this map

Wingate serves as the central hub of this Union County landscape, situated where the historic corridor of Old Hwy 74 and Old Highway 74 segments meet contemporary transit routes. This 2010 survey reflects a period of expanding residential development alongside long-established agrarian features. The northern reaches near Brookhaven are defined by the headwaters of Rays Fork, while smaller settlements like Rock Rest and Allens Crossroads anchor the surrounding rural intersections.

Water management is prominent in the central terrain at Braswell Lake, controlled by the Braswell Lake Dam. The map provides detailed local-history orientation for the area south of the main settlement, documenting family-named landmarks such as Wicker Branch and Waxhaw Branch. Genealogists will find the Wingate Cemetery clearly marked, alongside an extensive network of secondary roads including Walkers Grove Rd and Sycamore Grove Rd that illustrate the modern subdivision of traditional North Carolina Piedmont farmsteads.
