1968 Map of Charlotte West

About this map

Douglas Municipal Airport dominates the center of this 1968 study, showing its configuration alongside the National Guard base before the modern expansion of the Queen City. The western edge of Charlotte is captured during a period of rapid suburbanization, with residential developments encroaching on older rural crossroads like Dixie and Shopton. The landscape is a mix of evolving infrastructure and traditional landmarks, including the historic Steele Creek Ch and several smaller community sites like Mt Olive Ch and Berryhill Cem.
