1969 Map of Concord

Rural character persists on the eastern fringes, where the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Cold Water Creek and Buffalo Creek. Numerous small communities and family-named landmarks are visible, including Heilmans Mill near Lake Concord and the clustered settlements at Gold Springs and Cooks Crossing. This 1960s survey documents the mid-century suburbanization of Cabarrus County, noting numerous neighborhood schools like Winecoff Sch and Carver Sch alongside several radio towers and a local Drag Strip.
