About this map

Lake Benson and the winding Swift Creek anchor the southern landscape of this early 21st-century study, where the growing suburbs of Garner meet the established agricultural research tracts of the North Carolina State University Central Crops Research Station. The map illustrates a transitional period of significant infrastructure development, highlighted by large highway interchanges such as Interchange 303 and Interchange 306, which bridge the gap between rural homesteads and expanding residential neighborhoods.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documented family landmarks and community centers, including Hayes Chapel, Ebenezer Ch, and numerous small burial sites like Wilson Cem and Rand Cem. From the banks of the Neuse River in the northeast to the settlement at Auburn, the sheet meticulously records the convergence of legacy institutional land use, such as the NCSU Randleigh Field Lab, with the modern residential character of Emerald Village.
