1974 Map of Creedmoor

About this map

Creedmoor serves as the focal point of this Granville County landscape, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and a network of county roads converge at the edge of the Piedmont. The map documents a significant era of hydrological and infrastructure change, centered on the expansion of Beaverdam Lake and the Rogers Creek drainage system. These water features are nestled between the rural communities of Northside and Sandy Plain, with the Neuse River winding through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous rural landmarks, including Olive Grove Ch, Union Chapel Ch, and New Light Ch, alongside various unnamed family cemeteries. Educational hubs such as South Granville Sch and Hawley Sch appear near the town center, while topographical markers like Ledge Rock characterize the varied terrain along Ledge Creek.
