About this map

Matthews and Indian Trail anchor this 2016 survey of the rapidly growing suburban landscape southeast of Charlotte. The map details the residential and commercial expansion spanning the Mecklenburg Co and Union Co border, following the corridors of E Independence Blvd and the Matthews Indian Trail Rd. Local heritage remains visible in the numerous country churches and associated burial grounds, such as Mount Harmony Church Cem and Antioch Baptist Church Cem.

The hydrography of the region is defined by several creek branches, including Fourmile Cr, Davis Mine Cr, and the forks of W Fork Twelvemile Cr. The southeastern corner transitions into a more industrial and transport-oriented landscape near Monroe, featuring the Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport. Smaller communities like Stouts, Hemby Bridge, and Lake Park illustrate the infill of formerly rural areas between the primary municipal centers.
