About this map

Old Settlers Cem and the Sardis Slave Cem stand as significant historical markers within this densely developed urban corridor of Charlotte. This 2016 survey documents the modern layout of North Carolina's largest city, centered on the intersection of major transit arteries like I-277 and US Hwy 74. The landscape is defined by its educational and spiritual foundations, featuring the campuses of Johnson C. Smith University and Queens University of Charlotte, alongside numerous historic burial grounds including Elmwood Cemetery and the Hebrew Cemetery.

Waterways such as Little Sugar Creek and McMullen Creek wind through residential neighborhoods and parks, providing a natural contrast to the industrial presence of the Norfolk Southern railroad line. To the southeast, the area around Rama shows the transition into established suburban communities, while Park Road Park and the Sharon Memorial Park offer substantial open green space amidst the city's growth.
