2013 Map of Louisburg

About this map

The Tar River bends through the heart of the landscape, anchoring the historic town of Louisburg. This 2013 survey documents the region's evolving infrastructure, featuring both the North Raleigh Airport near Katesville and the Triangle North Executive Airport further south. The geography is defined by a dense network of water bodies and family-named landmarks, such as Mitchiners Pond, Timmerman Pond, and Jacksons Pond. The rural character of Franklin County is evident in the scattered settlements of Royal and Raynor, connected by a series of named roads like May Rd and Peach Orchard Rd that trace older agricultural patterns. Significant crossings, such as the Timberlake Bridge over Cedar Cr, highlight the integration of modern transportation with the area's numerous tributaries, including Buffalo Cr and Big Br Cr.
