About this map

Raleigh's eastern expansion is clearly visible in this 2010 survey, where established residential enclaves like Millbrook and Brentwood meet the evolving infrastructure of eastern Wake County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Neuse River and a dense network of water features including Milburnie Fish Club Lake, Beacon Lake, and Lake Anne. These water bodies, often formed by dams such as the Emily Babcock Dam, reflect the suburban development and local drainage patterns of the era.

Local history and genealogy researchers can locate several community anchors, including the historic Oakwood Cemetery and Falls Church. The map also preserves the locations of several neighborhood postal hubs, such as the Creekside Post Office, Brentwood Post Office, and Sunnybrook Post Office. Transportation corridors like Atlantic Ave and the path across Poole Bridge connect numerous named subdivisions, from Will-O-Dean Acres to Hickory Hollow, illustrating the residential growth patterns of the North Carolina state capital at the decade's start.
