About this map

Camp Butner Military Reservation dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, reflecting the significant wartime infrastructure established in Granville County. The Seaboard Air Line railway serves as a primary transit corridor, connecting the town of Creedmoor with smaller outposts like Hester and Lyons. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Tar River and Knap of Reeds Creek, which carve through a region densely populated with rural institutions.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Lattice Ch and New Rock Spring Ch to numerous educational sites such as Winston Sch and Maple Springs Sch. Small agrarian settlements like Mt Energy, Wilton, and Pokomoke are mapped with their original road networks intact, showing the transition between Granville and Durham counties before later suburban expansion altered the local character.
