1973 Map of Green Level

About this map

B Everett Jordan Lake dominates the western landscape of this North Carolina survey, its waters reaching into the valleys of Morgan Creek and Little New Hope Creek. The map documents a rural transition as the reservoir changed the local topography, yet legacy landmarks remain visible across the rolling hills. Numerous country churches, including Marthas Chapel and Mt Pisgah Ch, serve as anchors for the scattered rural communities. To the east, the Norfolk and Southern railroad corridor passes through Genlee, while an Old Railroad Trail further west hints at earlier transportation routes. The convergence of Durham, Chatham, and Wake counties meets here, marking a region defined by its numerous small waterways like Panther Creek and White Oak Creek that drain toward the new lake.
