About this map

Garner and its surrounding residential developments appear here during a period of significant suburban expansion south of Raleigh. The landscape is defined by its transition from agricultural heritage to modern communities, with numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries preserving the local genealogy of the area. Significant water features like Lake Benson and the Neuse River anchor the eastern and southern edges of the map, while the North Carolina State University Central Research Station occupies a large tract of land in the southeast.

Researchers will find a dense network of neighborhoods including Biltmore Hills, Cloverdale, and Emerald Village. The map also traces the paths of local watercourses such as Swift Creek and Whiteoak Creek, which flow through the increasingly developed terrain. For those investigating family history, the inclusion of several small burial grounds like the Hilliard Cemetery and Wilson Cemetery provides precise locations for traditional family plots amid the encroaching suburban grid.
