2019 Map of Garner

About this map

Garner and the southeastern periphery of Raleigh anchor this 2019 survey, illustrating the modern development patterns of the Wake County and Johnston County border. The map documents a landscape where residential subdivisions like Cloverdale and Forest Hills meet rural legacies, marked by numerous family burial grounds including Hilliard Cem, Wilson Cem, and Sauls Cem. Transportation corridors define the region, with major routes intersecting near the community of Auburn. The natural drainage of the area is governed by Swift Creek and the Neuse River, which carve through the terrain alongside local aviation sites like Bagwell Airport and Peacock Airport. For genealogists and local historians, the specific placement of Turner Cem and Rand Cem among these growing suburban neighborhoods provides essential spatial context for tracing family roots in this rapidly evolving part of the North Carolina Piedmont.
