About this map

Rolesville and the eastern edge of Wake Forest anchor this mid-1960s landscape as it transitions through early 1970s updates. The terrain is defined by a network of small creeks and community hubs, including Fowlers Crossroads and Harris Crossroads. Evidence of older transportation routes is visible in the Old Railroad Grade running east of Lassiter, which contrasts with the active Seaboard Coast Line passing through Wake Forest.

Local spiritual and social centers are well-represented by rural congregations such as Oak Grove Ch, Beulah Ch, and Corinth United Ch. Water resources are a prominent feature of the geography, ranging from the large Wake Forest Reservoir and Mitchell Millpond to smaller family-named landmarks like Moores Pond and Mitchell Pond. The survey also marks industrial footprints, including a large Quarry south of Lassiter, showing the local extraction industry at work.
