About this map

The town of Rolesville and its surrounding countryside are documented during a period of transition in the late twentieth century, showing a mix of established crossroad communities and expanding infrastructure. Waterways such as the Little River and Perry Creek define the drainage of the area, supporting landmarks like the Mitchell Millpond and Penny Hill Lake. Genealogical interest is found in the rural church congregations and burial grounds that dot the landscape, including Corinth United Ch, Beulah Ch, and the Mitchell Cem.

Evidence of local industry and utility is visible in the large Quarry near Lassiter and the Filtration Plant at the Wake Forest Reservoir. The boundary between Franklin and Wake Counties cuts across the northern portion of the map, where settlements like Harris Crossroads and Barham maintain their rural character. This survey provides a clear view of the road network connecting traditional family-named junctions like Fowlers Crossroads before the significant suburban growth of the following decades.
