2019 Map of Kannapolis

About this map

Kannapolis and its surrounding communities are shown here at a moment of significant infrastructure expansion, where the traditional Piedmont landscape meets modern aviation and suburban development. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the Concord Regional Airport, situated just north of the Charlotte city limits. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Rocky River and numerous tributaries like Coddle Creek and Irish Buffalo Creek, which have been dammed to form local water bodies such as Earnhardt Lake, Barr Lake, and Seaford Pond. These waterways separate distinct neighborhoods and older settlements including Fisher Town, West Brook, and Poplar Tent. The road network, including the prominent S Dale Earnhardt Blvd, illustrates the area's growth and its connection to the region's industrial and racing heritage. Long-standing local landmarks like Odell School Rd and Macedonia Church Rd provide vital touchpoints for those researching the genealogy and geographic evolution of this Cabarrus County corridor.
