About this map

McAlpine Creek and Fourmile Creek carve through the landscape south of Charlotte during a period of significant suburban expansion. This 1968 survey, photorevised in 1980, captures the transformation of rural Union and Mecklenburg Counties into residential corridors. Cultural landmarks like the Providence Ch and Harrison Ch anchor established communities, while the growth of educational infrastructure is evident at South Mecklenburg High Sch.

The map reveals the early development of Olde Providence and Tuckaway Park alongside established country estates and sporting grounds like the Quail Hollow Country Club. Local history researchers will find the boundary between North and South Carolina clearly defined as it passes near Pleasant Valley, providing a detailed look at the road networks of Rea Road and Providence Road before modern highway projects altered the local character.
