Ashley Mahoney is an award-winning journalist with Axios Charlotte and the author of the new book, Historic Maps of Charlotte: A History of the Queen City in Rare Maps.
Before joining Axios in 2021, she spent nearly seven years at The Charlotte Post covering sports, arts, culture, food, and the people and places shaping the region.
Her debut book brings together more than 40 maps, along with essays, photographs, and illustrations, to trace Charlotte’s evolution from a courthouse town to a major American city. Along the way, it revisits places that have disappeared, including Good Samaritan Hospital and Lakewood Park, and landmarks that have been transformed, such as the Carolina Theatre, Memorial Stadium, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
