2022 Map of Charlotte West

About this map

Charlotte/Douglas International Airport dominates the central landscape of this Mecklenburg County survey, illustrating the massive scale of modern aviation infrastructure south of Dixie. The map reveals a high density of historical religious sites, including the Steele Creek Church Cem and Mount Olive Presbyterian Cem, which anchor long-established communities like Shopton. These cemeteries and the many schools, such as the Central Piedmont Community College Harris Campus, sit amidst a complex hydrology of small lakes like Shoaf Lake and Whippoorwill Lake. The eastern edge shows the westward expansion of Charlotte, where industrial and academic institutions follow the corridors of the Norfolk Southern and major thoroughfares like Wilkinson Blvd.
