2019 Map of Northeast Durham

About this map

Durham and its northeastern suburbs anchor this landscape at the junction of Durham and Granville counties. The terrain is defined by a series of impoundments and small lakes, including Brinkley Lake, Newcombs Lake, and Lake Hughes, which punctuate the drainage basins of the Little River and Ellerbe Creek. While the urban reach of Durham is evident in the southwest with dense residential streets such as Bundy Ave and Dearborn Dr, the map transitions toward more rural and residential pockets like Fairntosh and Gorman. The presence of Lake Ridge Aero Park and the sprawling Oak Grove Memorial Gardens near Rocky Knoll illustrates the diverse land use at the city's edge, where historical settlements like Cozart and Redwood maintain their identity amidst the expanding road networks of Interstate 85 and US Highway 70.
