2022 Map of Harrisburg

About this map

Rocky River and its numerous tributaries, including Mallard Cr and Coddle Creek, define the topography of this region where Cabarrus and Mecklenburg counties meet. The landscape reflects a mix of long-established rural institutions and modern institutional expansion, anchored by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the west and Harrisburg in the center. Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of numerous burial sites, from the Mallard Creek Church Cem to the Alexander Slave Cem, providing a window into the area's ancestral history. The presence of Roberta Mill in the northeast and Pine Ridge suggest the varied industrial and residential development patterns that have shaped the corridor between Charlotte and Concord. Transport networks like Speedway Blvd and the sprawl of Newell demonstrate the continued growth of this Piedmont area.
