2019 Map of Chapel Hill

About this map

The Univ of N Carolina at Chapel Hill campus serves as the cultural and geographic anchor for this region, surrounded by a dense network of neighborhoods including Tenney Circle, Glen Lennox, and Carrboro. The landscape is defined by its transition from urban academic centers to the wooded ridges of Blackwood Mtn and Iron Mine Hill. Significant water features like University Lake and the Morgan Creek drainage system dictate the local topography, while numerous small cemeteries such as the Old Chapel Hill Cem and Barbee - Hargraves Cem provide deep genealogical connections to the area's early families. The transition from the developed core of Chapel Hill to outlying settlements like Eubanks and Blackwood illustrates the suburban expansion and preserved natural spaces that characterize this part of the North Carolina Piedmont.
