About this map

Mint Hill and the southeastern outskirts of Charlotte reveal a landscape shaped by rapid suburban expansion across the Mecklenburg and Union County line. While modern arterial roads like E Independence Blvd and Albemarle Rd define the commute, the area’s earlier rural character is preserved in its many congregational landmarks. Numerous historic burial grounds and places of worship, such as Bethel AME-Zion Church Cem and Saint Pauls Church Cem, remain as anchors for older communities like Hickory Grove and Wilgrove.

The terrain is drained by a dense network of small waterways, including McAlpine Cr and Stevens Cr, which historically dictated the placement of homesteads and early crossings. Settlement patterns here show the transition from small hamlets like Hoods to established residential districts like Marlwood Acre and Grove Park. This document serves as a detailed record of land use at the end of the 2010s, capturing the balance between preserved open spaces like the Purser-Hulsey Park Trail and the growing footprints of Matthews and Stallings.
