Mecklenburg
County GIS
The
map below was derived from the previous version of the Mecklenburg County GIS Real
Estate System. It shows the lots and lot numbers for the two
sections of Griers Fork. The area shaded green is the greenway
that is now owned by Mecklenburg Park and Recreation.

view maps of Griers Fork showing house numbers in
PDF or

Did
you ever wonder what Griers Fork looked like before our
houses got built? Well, it was cow pasture, as the 1996 aerial
photograph below from TerraServer shows. Match the shapes of
the streams in the upper left of the photo to those on the map
above. Brown-Grier Road arcs across the top of the photo, and
Kennedy Middle School is in the upper right. The older Twelve
Oaks subdivision is at the bottom of the photo. Generally,
Griers Fork was built in the area without trees.

The
current aerial photograph of the Griers Fork area on
TerraServer is from March 14, 1998, when the streets were
just being laid out.

Census
Bureau
TIGER
is the Census Bureau's automated mapping system. All census maps
now are produced from this system. (TIGER stands for Topologically
Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing, but mainly it's
just a catchy acronym.)
The map below was taken for the Census Bureau's American
FactFinder web site, which is where data from the 2000 census are
being posted. Select "Reference Maps" on the American
FactFinder page to create maps showing census geography for any
area of your choice nationwide.
The map below shows the Charlotte
city limits as of January 1, 2000 and part of census tract 59.04.
Griers Fork is right in the middle. Look for "Dingess
Rd."

Directions to
Central Steele Creek Presbyterian Church:
The church is on the corner of S Tryon St (Hwy 49) and
Westinghouse Blvd. Go south on S Tryon St from Sandy Porter Road
(near Food Lion). Continue through the blinker light at the Fire
Station. At the next light—Westinghouse Boulevard—make a U-Turn.
Then turn right immediately into the church parking lot. The
meeting is in the Fellowship Hall, which is the separate building
to the right of the main building. It’s straight back from where
you entered the parking lot. The building’s number is 9401C.
