About this map

Moccasin Creek and Norris Creek wind through the agricultural landscape of the North Carolina coastal plain, defining a region where family-named settlements like Pearces and Sutton serve as local anchors. In the late 1990s, this area along the boundary of Franklin Co and Wake Co retained a dense network of country churches and rural schools, including the Gethsemane Sch and Hopkins Chapel.

A tangible link to the industrial past is the Old Railroad Grade visible in the northwest, a reminder of the rail infrastructure that once supported local commerce. The map also captures the growth of Bunn and the development of the Zebulon Country Club, showing the transition from purely agricultural use toward more modern residential and recreational patterns while still preserving numerous unnamed cemeteries and small family homesteads.
