1978 Map of Grissom

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The boundary lines of Granville, Franklin, and Wake counties converge in this landscape defined by small rural settlements and a dense network of country churches. The community of Grissom sits at a central crossroads, surrounded by numerous houses of worship including Marys Chapel, Rock Spring Ch, and New Rock Spring Ch. Further east, the village of Pocomoke anchors the area near Wesley Chapel and Popes Chapel. The southern portion of the map reveals the emerging impact of Falls Lake, where the creation of Falls Lake State Park begins to reshape the terrain around New Light and Mill Creek. The abundance of family-named landmarks and cemeteries near Purnell and Brassfield Ch provides a clear view of the area's social fabric during the late 1970s and 1980s.
