1907 Map of Charlotte

About this map

Charlotte is shown here as a concentrated rail hub at the intersection of the Southern Ry and the Seaboard Air Line Ry. The street grid expands into early suburbs like Dilworth and Piedmont, while landmarks such as Biddle Hall and Elizabeth College anchor the city's academic landscape. Outside the urban core, the terrain is defined by a dense network of country churches and small rural schools that served the surrounding agrarian townships of Steele Creek, Providence, and Crab Orchard.
