About this map

The town of Apex serves as the focal point of this 2002 topographic study, showcasing the rapid suburban transformation of Wake County. Detailed street grids including Chatham St and Williams St intersect with the Cary corporate limits, reflecting the expansion that characterized this era. To the south, Holly Springs is depicted alongside recreational and natural landmarks such as Womble Park and the distinct terrain of Hemlock Bluffs State Natural Area.

Hydrological features define much of the landscape between the growing municipalities, with Middle Creek and its many tributaries, such as Dutchmans Branch and Utley Creek, winding through the region. Educational and community institutions like Matthew Chapel and the Lufkin Sch are documented, providing vital markers for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of neighborhoods such as Piney Plains and Feltonville. The presence of several golf courses and the expansive waters of Sunset Lake and Bass Lake highlight the integration of residential growth with existing natural resources.
