1964 Map of Lake Wheeler

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Lake Wheeler and the Swift Creek valley dominate this landscape south of Raleigh, capturing the transition from the capital's southern suburbs to the rural farmland of Wake County. In the mid-1960s, the area south of the city was defined by expanding residential neighborhoods like Carolina Pines, Greenbrier Estates, and Echo Heights, while much of the central map remained dedicated to the North Carolina State University Research Units and agricultural heritage near Yates Millpond.
