2013 Map of Mint Hill

About this map

Wilgrove Air Park and the surrounding residential developments define the landscape of eastern Mecklenburg County during this period of suburban maturation. The map illustrates a dense network of neighborhoods, including Hickory Grove, Lake Forest, and Olde Savannah, which replaced former agricultural tracts as the Charlotte metropolitan area expanded. Several water bodies, such as Waverly Lake, Delta Lake, and McEwen Lake, are integrated into these planned communities, serving as central landmarks for local residents. The drainage patterns of Goose Cr and McAlpine Cr provide a natural contrast to the structured grid of the suburbs. Transportation is anchored by major corridors like 485, which facilitate the connection between the established Wilgrove area and the outlying Robinson Church Community. This survey documents the transition of the region from rural crossroads into a fully realized residential corridor.
