1954 Map of Charlotte

About this map

Charlotte serves as the focal point of this mid-century regional survey, surrounded by a network of industrial and agricultural hubs across the Piedmont. To the west, the landscape rises into the South Mountains and Brush Mountains, while the Catawba River and Yadkin River systems define the drainage of the central plains. This era shows the region's educational and military landscape, featuring Davidson College, Lenoir Rhyne College, and the Charlotte Naval Ammunition Depot.
