US Highway 29 north of Charlotte used to be referred to as the Salisbury Road because it was the road one would take from Charlotte north to the town of Salisbury. I-85 follows the same general route, except that Hwy 29 actually goes through central Charlotte while I-85 bypasses. Some of my ORR ancestors, who lived in Mallard Creek township, lived along "The Salisbury Road." I have a map of townships in Mecklenburg County at this address: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/1174/mecklenburg_map.html Derita is another neighborhood referred to many times - it is between Long Creek and Mallard Creek. Hwy 21 north of Charlotte is known as Statesville Road (destination Statesville in Iredell Co.) Hwy 24/27 east of Charlotte is known as Albemarle Road (destination Albemarle in Stanly County) Old Hwy 74 east of Charlotte is known as Monroe Road (destination Monroe in Union County.) Hwy 49 south is known as York Road (destination York, SC) and so on Tyvola Road is in Sharon Township. Donna J.
