2010 Map of Clayton

About this map

The town of Clayton serves as the central hub of this North Carolina landscape, where residential growth in neighborhoods like Starmont and Rollingwood meets the industrial footprint of the Union Carbide Pond Dam. The Neuse River winds through the center of the sheet, crossed by Baucoms Bridge and joined by tributaries including Marks Creek and Poplar Creek. This 2010 survey documents a transition from traditional rural land use to suburban expansion, evidenced by the numerous family and community burial grounds scattered among new road networks. Local genealogy is well-represented through sites such as Maplewood Cemetery, McCullers Cemetery, and the Pythian Home. To the north and east, smaller settlements like Shotwell and Archer Lodge maintain a more dispersed character, while substantial water bodies like Atkinson Lake and Lake Wheeler illustrate the importance of water management and recreation in the Johnston County area.
