2013 Map of Clayton

About this map

The Clayton area is defined by the winding course of the Neuse River, which anchors a landscape of growing residential neighborhoods and preserved landmarks. Modern suburban development is visible in the established clusters of Starmont, Rollingwood, and Brigadoon, while the Pythian Home stands as a notable institutional landmark on the south side of town. The transition from town center to rural fringe is marked by smaller named settlements like Walden and Shotwell, interspersed with significant water features such as MacGregor Downs Lake and the NCSU Pond Number One. Further east, the map details the proximity of Archer Lodge and the numerous small ponds and millponds, including Yates Millpond and Atkinson Lake, that speak to the region's agricultural past and current water management patterns.
