2013 Map of Kannapolis

About this map

Concord Regional Airport anchors the southern portion of this landscape, marking a period of significant suburban expansion and infrastructure development in the early 21st century. The map reveals a transition from traditional rural crossroad communities like Poplar Tent and Cannon Crossroads to more densely organized residential clusters such as Shady Brook and Fisher Town. Water remains a central geographic feature, with Coddle Creek and the Rocky River carving through the terrain, flanked by community landmarks like Macedonia Church and Odell School. The industrial and milling history of the region is reflected in names like Cox Mill, while smaller settlements such as Deweese and Glass provide touchpoints for local historians and genealogists tracing the evolution of these Piedmont communities during a time of rapid growth.
