About this map

The capital city of Raleigh anchors this survey of Wake County, illustrating the urban evolution of the Research Triangle as of 2022. The map details the core of the city, including the Supreme Court of North Carolina and the Wake County Courthouse, while tracing the expansion of its academic institutions. Landmarks like North Carolina State University, Meredith College, and Shaw University are clearly delineated alongside the historic neighborhood of Method.

To the west and south, the terrain is defined by the drainages of Crabtree Creek and Walnut Creek, which frame suburban settlements such as Westover, Asbury, and Glen Forest. This record serves as a precise guide for genealogists and researchers, locating family sites at Mount Olivet Cem and Mount Hope Cem. The transportation network is dominated by the Norfolk Southern rail line and the busy thoroughfare of Hillsborough St, reflecting the transit-driven growth between the capital and Cary.
