1964 Map of Lake Wheeler

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The rolling landscape south of Raleigh is defined by a series of water bodies and converging rail lines in the mid-1960s. Swift Creek and Middle Creek drain the area, feeding significant reservoirs like Lake Wheeler and Lake Benson. The cultural landscape is marked by historic infrastructure like Yates Millpond and institutional footprints such as the State School for Blind and Deaf. Transportation corridors including the Norfolk Southern and Southern railroads bisect the quadrangle, passing through crossroads and developing suburban tracts.
