1948 Map of Charlotte West
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Douglas Municipal Airport and Morris Field dominate the landscape west of Charlotte in this late-1940s survey. The area shows a critical period of aviation and military infrastructure development, evidenced by the large runway footprints and the U S Naval Depot to the south. Surrounding these modern hubs, the traditional rural character of Mecklenburg County remains visible through community anchors like Berryhill Sch, Steel Creek Ch, and the small settlement of Shopton.
