1907 Map of Charlotte

About this map

The growing city of Charlotte serves as the focal point of this early twentieth-century survey, revealing the urban core before its massive modern expansion. The town's grid is firmly established, radiating outward toward suburban developments like Dilworth and Biddleville. This era is defined by the convergence of the Southern Railway and the Seaboard Air Line, which fueled the regional textile and trade economy. To the south, the landscape transitions into a network of agrarian communities and historic congregations that anchored rural life, including Steel Creek Church, Sharon Church, and Providence Church.
