2019 Map of Rolesville

About this map

The town of Rolesville serves as a central hub in this northeastern Wake County landscape, where the growing residential street networks of Wake Forest begin to interface with traditional crossroads settlements. Established burial grounds like the Oak Grove Baptist Church Cem and Rolesville Baptist Church Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in the area. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Smith Creek, Austin Creek, and the Little River, which feed into numerous localized impoundments such as Brown Lake, Penny Hill Lake, and the Wake Forest Reservoir. To the south and east, the transition into more rural territory is marked by historic locations like Fowlers Crossroads, Lassiter, and Barham, where the land slopes toward the northern reaches of Falls Lake.
