2016 Map of Northeast Durham

About this map

Fairntosh and the northern reaches of Durham characterize this landscape, where suburban growth meets the protected watersheds of the Little River and Eno River. The 2016 survey highlights a complex network of reservoirs and smaller lakes, including Brinkley Lake and the Infinity Rd Raw Water Reservoir, which define the local drainage patterns near the Granville and Durham County line. Small communities and established neighborhoods such as Gorman, Redwood, and Cozart are shown connected by a dense grid of residential streets and arterial roads like Stagville Rd. A notable aviation landmark, Lake Ridge Aero Park, sits nestled between Newcombs Lake and the surrounding wetlands, while Oak Grove Memorial Gardens serves as a significant local landmark for genealogists. The terrain is further etched by numerous tributaries including Ellerbe Creek and Chunky Pipe Cr, illustrating the area's transition from urban core to rural conservation lands.
