About this map

Charlotte is captured here in immense detail, showing the city's modern urbanization alongside its deep genealogical roots. The central business district and the Mecklenburg County Courthouse anchor the northwestern portion of the sheet, where major transportation arteries like I-277 and the Seaboard Coast Line RR converge. The landscape is notably defined by its many historic burial grounds, including the Old Settlers Cem and the Sardis Slave Cem, providing researchers with a clear record of the area's social history.

Educational institutions are dense throughout this corridor, from Johnson & Wales University Charlotte to the Queens University of Charlotte further south. The map follows the natural drainage of Little Sugar Cr and McAlpine Cr, illustrating how modern residential developments have grown around these established waterways. Further southeast, the community of Rama remains a distinct point of interest amidst the expanding suburban landscape of Mecklenburg County.
