About this map

Charlotte Motor Speedway and the growing campus of the Univ of North Carolina at Charlotte anchor this region where the expanding suburbs of Charlotte meet the rural landscape of the Cabarrus Co and Mecklenburg Co line. The map captures a moment of transition in the 1990s, where traditional community centers like Roberta Mill and Harrisburg sit alongside modern developments, such as the Interchange 48 and the clusters of purple-tinted urban revisions.

Waterways like the Rocky River and Mallard Creek define the topography, while a dense network of local landmarks provides rich detail for genealogists. Numerous historic congregations are documented, including Siloam Ch, Back Creek Chapel, and Stowes Chapel. Industrial and utility footprints are visible through several Quarry sites, the Southern railroad line, and a concentration of broadcasting infrastructure, including the Radio Tower (WCCB-TV) and Radio Tower (WSOC-TV).
