2022 Map of Southeast Durham

About this map

Durham, Raleigh, and Cary converge in this detailed mapping of the Research Triangle's urban and suburban growth. The landscape is characterized by a transition from established residential neighborhoods like Joyland and Oak Grove in the north to the sprawling industrial and commercial corridors surrounding the Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Significant hydrological features such as Wake Crossroads Lake, Mitchell Millpond, and Twin Lake Number One break up the dense road networks, while Brier Creek and its tributaries like Stirrup Iron Creek snake through the developing suburbs. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise locations of the Woodlawn Memorial Park and Brier Creek Memorial Gardens cemeteries, alongside education-focused landmarks like the Apex School of Theology near the Brassfield area. The map illustrates how transportation infrastructure, particularly around Nelson and the intersection of major routes, continues to shape the region's topography.
