About this map

Charlotte is shown here at a moment of significant urban density, with the grid-aligned downtown core split into the Third Ward and Fourth Ward. The city's residential character is defined by established neighborhoods like Dilworth, Myers Park, and Biddleville, which surround the commercial center. Educational and civic institutions are prominent, most notably Johnson C Smith University in the northwest.

A complex network of surface waters, including Little Sugar Creek and McAlpine Creek, dictates the city's topography and parkland distribution. Historic burial grounds such as Hebrew Cemetery, Elmwood Cemetery, and Pinewood Cemetery provide a localized record of the community's genealogy and growth. Infrastructure is anchored by the Independence Expy and several local landing sites including Sharon Airport and Enterprise Airport, illustrating the transport and logistical layout of the region during this period.
