2010 Map of Kannapolis

About this map

Coddle Creek and the Rocky River define the hydraulic landscape of this region west of the Kannapolis city center during the first decade of the 21st century. The map documents a period of suburban transition where historic community centers like Poplar Tent and Cox Mill are surrounded by an expanding network of residential developments and new infrastructure, such as the Kannapolis Pkwy. The drainage patterns of Mill Creek and Irish Buffalo Creek illustrate the rolling topography that once supported a purely agrarian economy, now punctuated by local landmarks like Camp Cabarrus and several significant water impoundments.
