1967 Map of Wake Forest

About this map

Wake Forest serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, defined by the prominent campus of the Southeastern Theological Seminary and its proximity to the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. The landscape is deeply tied to the Neuse River, which winds through the center of the sheet, supporting a series of small riverside and crossroads communities. To the south and west, the map details the infrastructure of the era, including a Filtration Plant, Reservoir, and several Quarry sites that hint at the local extraction industry. Rural life is anchored by numerous country churches such as Stony Hill Ch and Mt Vernon Ch, while recreational spaces like New Life Camp and Camp Durant indicate the transition of the land toward youth and community use. The presence of Forestville and Falls illustrates the historical settlement patterns that grew along the rail lines and river bends.
