1962 Map of Charlotte
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Charlotte sits at the heart of a rapidly evolving Piedmont corridor, where the textile economy and major infrastructure projects reshaped the landscape by the early 1960s. The hydro-electric potential of the Catawba River is fully realized through a chain of reservoirs including the newly formed Lake Norman, Lake Wylie, and Mountain Island Lake, which provided power for the region's burgeoning industrial centers. The map documents significant institutional footprints, from the Charlotte Naval Ammunition Depot to numerous state facilities like Prison Camp 902.
