1967 Map of Wake Forest

About this map

Wake Forest serves as the primary hub of activity on this survey, where the grounds of the Southeastern Theological Seminary and a local Hospital are situated along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. To the south, the village of Forestville and the community of Falls sit near the winding course of the Neuse River, which dominates the central drainage of the quadrangle. The map captures a landscape characterized by numerous crossroads and small rural settlements, including Stony Hill, Neuse Crossroads, and Walkers Crossroads. Spiritual and social life is marked by several country churches such as Ridge Crest Ch, Stony Hill Ch, and Mt Pleasant Ch. Industrial footprints are visible at several Quarry sites and a Filtration Plant near the river. Revisions shown in purple indicate the expansion of residential areas and new facilities like the Greshams Lake reservoir and Camp Durant as the region evolved through the mid-1970s.
