About this map

Raleigh-Durham Airport and the surrounding tech-corridor infrastructure define this 2010 landscape at the meeting point of Durham and Wake counties. The map captures a moment of intense suburban and industrial development, characterized by complex highway interchanges and the sprawling William Umstead State Park in the southeast. High-density residential patterns are visible near Bethesda and Oak Grove, while older crossroads like Lynn Crossroads and Nelson remain identifiable landmarks amidst the modern growth.

Water management is a central theme, with numerous dammed water bodies including Briar Creek Reservoir, Allen Lake, and Umstead Park Lake helping to manage the drainage of Lick Creek and Sycamore Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the detailed mapping of several large cemeteries, such as Woodlawn Memorial Park and the distinct Pet Rest Memorial Park near the major highway junctions.
