About this map

Raleigh's northern expansion is evident across this modern landscape, where the suburban reaches of the city meet the rolling terrain of northern Wake County. The map details the transition from established neighborhoods near Six Forks and Leesville to the more open areas around Bayleaf. Significant hydrological features include Brinkley Lake and Mitchell Pond, while numerous small watercourses like Lick Cr and Hare Snipe Cr drain the watershed.

The presence of Salisbury Plain and the peak of Adam Mtn provide topographical variety to an area increasingly defined by a dense network of residential streets. The Durham Co Wake Co line marks the western boundary of the sheet, illustrating how these growing communities interface with the neighboring county. Local history is reflected in the many family-named roads and landmarks, including Hammonds Pond and Laurel Cr, which persist amidst contemporary development.
