About this map

The city of Concord and the southern edge of Kannapolis anchor this 2010 topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by significant suburban expansion and water management. Modern corridors like Dale Earnhardt Blvd and Cloverleaf Pkwy navigate the urban center, while several small airfields including Chalfant Airport, Spencer Airport, and Propst Airport dot the outskirts. The region's genealogy and local history are preserved at Oakwood Cemetery and Saint James Cemetery, while recreation areas such as Jackson Park and Wil-Mar Park provide green space amidst the dense residential street network.

A complex hydraulic system is evident through numerous reservoirs and dams, such as Lake Fisher, Lake Concord, and Buffalo Ranch Lake. These water bodies are fed by a network of creeks including Threemile Branch, Irish Buffalo Creek, and Cold Water Creek. Small outlying settlements like Cooks Crossing, Cold Springs, and New Gilead maintain their identities even as the city grew around them in the early 21st century.
