1964 Map of Clayton

About this map

Clayton serves as the primary hub of this mid-1960s survey, centered on the Southern railway line and the Neuse River corridor. The town's layout reveals a concentrated residential core surrounding the High Sch and Hocutt Memorial Ch, with the Maplewood Cem marking the southern boundary. Significant state-managed land use is evident in the west, where the State Forestry Dept Nursery and the State Agricultural Experimental Station occupy large tracts between Little Creek and the river. Numerous small family and community cemeteries, such as Doub Cem and Hinton Cem, are scattered across the rural townships of St Matthews and Wilders, reflecting the area's agricultural heritage. Further north, the crossroads at Shotwell and Archers Lodge maintain their local identity through landmarks like Good Hope Ch and White Oak Ch.
