Sandhills • County seat: Sanford
Lee County lies on the edge of the Sandhills, with the Deep River winding along its northern and western boundary through the low Triassic basin. South of Sanford the ground rises into sandy longleaf ridges toward Moore.
Open the mapLidar coverage
Lidar projects that cover Sanford, from the USGS 3DEP index. Other parts of the county may come from other projects; the coverage guide explains how to check any spot.
No lidar project is recorded at Sanford; the map falls back to the coarser 3DEP elevation model there.
Property boundaries
The Property tool can select parcels in Lee County from the county assessor’s GIS parcels (NC OneMap statewide parcels (county assessors)) and use the boundary as the area for any other tool. Assessor parcels are not surveys.
