2022 Map of Bayleaf

About this map

Raleigh's suburban expansion north into the Piedmont is clearly visible in this contemporary topographical view, where the headwaters of the Neuse River and several creek systems define the local landscape. The map details the transition from the city's denser northern reaches around Six Forks to the established residential communities of Bayleaf and Leesville. Local institutions like Mount Vernon Church, Bayleaf Church, and Ebenezer Church serve as historical anchors amidst a modern network of winding roads and planned neighborhoods. The terrain is marked by significant water features, including Brinkley Lake and Mitchell Pond, which are fed by the branches of Upper Barton Creek and Lower Barton Creek. Notable landmarks such as Adam Mtn and the broad Salisbury Plain provide topographic variety to this area of northern Wake County, showcasing the local drainage patterns into the nearby river system.
