About this map

Zebulon and its surrounding communities in eastern Wake County are captured here at the close of the 20th century. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little River and the convergence of several major county boundaries, including Franklin, Nash, and Johnston. Educational history is well represented with the locations of Wakelon High Sch, Shepard High Sch, and Carver Sch, while the religious fabric of the area is mapped through numerous country churches like Union Chapel and St Pauls Ch.

North of the main town, the settlement of Wakefield sits near the headwaters of Beaverdam Creek, while the evocatively named Lizard Lick appears to the west. Local infrastructure is visible in the form of the Buchanan Airfield and a Landing Strip, reflecting the rural aviation of the era. The presence of Bunn Lake and Lake Johnson highlights the importance of water management and recreation for these growing North Carolina towns during this period of development.
