About this map

The Neuse River bends across the Johnston and Wake County line, anchoring a landscape defined by traditional agrarian roots and modern suburban development. The town of Clayton serves as the central hub, with its established street grid and historical sites like Maplewood Cem and Horne Cem. To the north, Archer Lodge and Shotwell mark smaller settlement areas, while the surrounding countryside is punctuated by family-named landmarks and water features such as Yates Millpond and MacGregor Downs Lake.

Tracing the crossings of the river, one finds Baucums Bridge and the winding path of Covered Bridge RD, highlighting the importance of river navigation and connectivity in this region. Numerous small burial grounds, including McCullers Cem and Sasser Cem, are scattered throughout the quadrangle, offering significant touchstones for genealogical research. The presence of Little Creek Church and institutional landmarks like NCSU Pond Number One reflect the area's diverse community and educational connections.
