About this map

The Creedmoor area and its surroundings in Granville and Wake Counties appear here just as the mid-1970s land use patterns were established. The northern portion is anchored by the municipality of Creedmoor, where the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad serves local industry near a prominent Warehouse. Educational centers like the South Granville Sch and Hawley Sch indicate the community's growth, while the rural character remains evident in the numerous Cem locations and country churches such as Union Ch and Olive Grove Ch.

To the south, the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Neuse River and its various tributaries, including Ledge Creek and Lick Creek. These watercourses flow through a terrain dotted with smaller settlements like North Side and Sandy Plain. In the southeast, the New Light Ch stands near the county line, representing the quiet, dispersed nature of the Piedmont region before more modern suburban expansion.
