About this map

The industrial and educational landscape of Concord and Kannapolis is documented here as the region expanded in the late 1960s. The historic campus of Barber-Scotia College stands near the heart of Concord, while the northern extent shows the textile-influenced planning of Kannapolis near Centerview. The Southern railroad provides the backbone for local commerce, connecting established neighborhoods like Wil-mar Park and West Concord.

Beyond the urban centers, the terrain transitions into a complex network of waterways, including Buffalo Creek and Cold Water Creek, which support several small impoundments such as Lake Fisher and Lake Concord. Rural life is marked by numerous country churches, including East Bethel Ch and New Testament Missionary Ch, and the landmark height of Mt Mitchell. Significant civic infrastructure is evident at the County Mem Hospital and the nearby Cabarrus County Fairgrounds.
