2013 Map of Wingate

About this map

Wingate and Marshville anchor this Union County corridor, where the Piedmont landscape is defined by a dense network of creek branches and farm-to-market roads. The terrain is intricately carved by tributaries like Richardson Cr and Lanes Cr, which drain the agricultural lands between the primary settlements. Smaller community nodes such as Rock Rest and Allens Crossroads indicate the historical pattern of crossroads development typical of rural North Carolina. Local infrastructure is reflected in specialized sites like Brown Field Airport and several rural landmarks such as Braswell Lake. Genealogists and local historians can trace family roots through the placement of rural cemetery access, including Griffin Cemetary Rd, and long-established thoroughfares such as Macedonia Church Rd and Mount Pleasant Ch Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads to the central railway and highway corridor.
