1993 Map of Mint Hill

About this map

Wilgrove Air Park and the surrounding residential developments of eastern Mecklenburg County define this landscape during a period of rapid suburbanization. The map documents the expansion of Charlotte through neighborhoods like Marlwood Acres and Idlewild, while still retaining the religious and social foundations of older rural communities. Numerous local landmarks are preserved in the data, including Philadelphia Ch and Bain Sch in Mint Hill, alongside the emerging recreational footprint of Larkhaven Golf Club and Pine Lake Country Club. A significant portion of the road network, including areas near Albemarle Rd, is marked as Under Construction, signaling the infrastructure shift as the region moved toward the turn of the century. Genealogists will find value in the detailed locations of burial sites like Sunset Memory Gardens and the Red Branch Cem.
