2019 Map of Grissom

About this map

Grissom and Pocomoke serve as central nodes in this rural landscape where the boundaries of Granville, Wake, and Franklin Counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Smith Cr and Middle Cr, which flow through a region increasingly shaped by residential development and local thoroughfares like Brassfield Rd and Old Franklinton Rd. The map illustrates the transition from traditional agricultural lands to more modern subdivisions, yet maintains its historical footing with established communities like New Light and Purnell. Along the southern and eastern edges, the influence of growing municipalities is clear as the map reaches toward the outskirts of Youngsville and Wake Forest. Significant landmarks such as Calvin Ray Pond and the winding course of New Light Cr provide a detailed look at the hydrology that has historically anchored these Piedmont settlements.
