About this map

Franklinton and Youngsville anchor this 2010 topographic record of northern Wake County and southern Franklin County. The landscape is defined by its transition from small-town centers to a network of crossroads settlements and rural infrastructure. Longstanding community landmarks like Fair View Cemetery and Evergreen Cemetery lie near the heart of Franklinton, while the outlying areas are dotted with named junctions such as Popes Crossroads, Mitchiners Crossroads, and Mays Crossroads.

Water management and connectivity are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Franklinton Reservoir Dam and Calvin Ray Pond Dam. Historic crossing points including Winston Bridge and Greens Bridge span the numerous waterways like Cedar Creek and Buffalo Creek that feed into the Little River. The map also captures smaller locales like Needmore, providing a precise view of the region's late-twentieth-century residential and agricultural layout.
