About this map

The town of Zebulon serves as a central hub in this late 1960s study, where the Norfolk Southern railroad cuts a diagonal path through the landscape. The region’s educational and civic heritage is anchored by landmarks like Wakelon High Sch and Shepard High Sch, while small outlying settlements such as Wakefield, Earpsboro, and the uniquely named Lizard Lick define the rural character.

Agricultural and natural features dominate the surrounding terrain, with the Little River and its various tributaries, including Moccasin Creek and Beaverdam Creek, providing a framework for the local topography. Notable infrastructure of the era is visible in the two landing strips, Zebulon Airfield and Buchanan Airfield, and spiritual centers like St Mathews Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch. The presence of Morpheus Bridge over the river highlights the importance of historic crossings in connecting these eastern Wake and Johnston County communities.
