Map of Monroe, NC — landmarks, parks, schools and neighborhoods

The Union County seat — a genuine small city of courthouse squares, textile-era neighborhoods, a regional hospital and the county's only commercial airport.

The map below centers on Monroe at roughly 34.985° N, 80.549° W in Union County, North Carolina, then plots the 26 places inside a 12-mile radius that actually organize daily life: the towns people navigate by, downtown landmarks, parks and greenways, the school campuses that set neighborhood pricing, estate communities, the nearest hospitals, everyday errand centers, and the roads behind every drive time quoted on this site. Each marker carries a short editorial note rather than a pin and a phone number.

Search by name or category, or select a row to center the map on it. Distances are straight-line miles from the Monroe centroid — road distance runs longer.

Questions

The Monroe map, answered.

Where is Monroe, NC on a map?

Monroe sits in Union County, North Carolina, at roughly 34.985° north and 80.549° west, inside the Waxhaw corridor south of Charlotte. The map on this page centers on that point and plots the landmarks, parks, campuses, communities, hospitals and roads within about 12 miles.

What ZIP code is Monroe in?

Monroe addresses fall under 28110 / 28112. ZIP boundaries do not follow town limits here, so a 28110 / 28112 address is not automatically inside Monroe town limits — verify the jurisdiction and school assignment for a specific parcel before relying on it.

How accurate are the coordinates on this Monroe map?

Coordinates are approximate centroids intended for orientation, not survey-grade positions. Verify any address, parcel boundary or school assignment with the county GIS office and the relevant school district.
