About this map

Green Level and Genlee sit at the center of a rapidly evolving landscape where traditional North Carolina rural tracts meet modern suburban development. The western edge is defined by the massive reach of B Everett Jordan Lake, whose inlets and fingers, such as Lick Br and Indian Cr, carve into the terrain. This topography is characterized by a dense network of watercourses including Northeast Cr and White Oak Cr, which flow through areas once dominated by homesteads and farms like the Lassiter Homestead.

The map reveals a transition from wooded creek bottoms to structured communities, with numerous smaller water bodies such as Castlebury Lake, Bay Meadows Lake, and the Durham Wildlife Club Lake providing local landmarks. The intricate road system, from the established Alston Ave to newer residential ways like Perfect Moment Pl, illustrates the 21st-century growth pattern of the Research Triangle region, while family names on roads like Upchurch Farm Rd and Berry Farm Rd hint at the area's agricultural roots.
