2013 Map of Chapel Hill

About this map

University Lake and the winding course of Morgan Cr anchor the southern landscape of this 2013 survey of the Piedmont region. The map reveals a dense suburban and institutional network surrounding the educational heart of the area, characterized by named residential developments like Glen Lennox and Kensington Trace. Topographic landmarks provide significant local context, from the elevated peak of Blackwood Mountain in the north to the industrial history implied by Iron Mine Hill. Transportation and utility infrastructure are well-documented, featuring multiple aviation sites such as Horace Williams Airport and Womble Field Airport. The map also captures several distinct water features, including the poetically named Meeting of the Waters near Greenwood, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of Bolin Cr and its tributaries as they move through the undulating terrain of Mount Bolus and McCauley Mount.
