1968 Map of Charlotte West

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The western edges of Charlotte expand toward the Catawba River basin on this mid-century survey, showing the transition from rural Mecklenburg County to an urbanizing transport hub. Centered on Douglas Municipal Airport, the landscape is a network of small family-named water bodies like Wait Lake and Maynard Lake, alongside established crossroads such as Dixie and Shopton. This era captures the footprint of the National Guard and the Mecklenburg Complex Dept of Correction before later industrial developments reached the banks of Lake Wylie.
