To the Real Estate Maps of Clarence Lamb Mann Index to the Real Estate Maps of Clarence Lamb Mann Primarily Encompassing the City of Raleigh and Wake County, North Carolina (1893 – 1960) Compiled by Charles P. Blunt IV INTRODUCTION From time to time, one “discovers” sources of significant historical value which cannot be utilized in an efficient matter. Such is the case with the set of more than 2,000 maps in the office the Wake County Register of Deeds donated by C.L. Mann after his death in 1961. The greatest majority of these maps encompass the City of Raleigh and Wake County from the 1890’s to 1960. There are a surprising number of maps ranging from the mountains to the coast and in neighboring localities. Below is a photograph that appeared in the 1924 Agromeck (North Carolina State Yearbook) and shows Professor C.L. Mann (about 46 years of age). Behind him is the map cabinet which he donated to Wake County. It contains over 2,000 maps accumulated during this long career. I would like to thank the office of the Register of Deeds of Wake County for allowing me full access to these records, especially Delia Little and her management. Charlie Blunt October, 2016 CONTENTS OF BOOKLET Introduction Contents Access to Maps Tips to Utilize C.L. Mann Real Estate Maps Biography of Carroll Lamb Mann (1877-1961) Arrangement and Highlights of Each Map Drawer Master Index of Names and Places in C.L. Mann Maps Title of Maps in Each Drawer ACCESS TO MAPS This document is intended to be used in conjunction with the C.L. Mann maps which can be accessed in two ways: 1) The originals are located in the Vault Room of the Wake County Register of Deeds. or 2) The Register of Deeds has duplicated most of the maps in their on-line website: www.wakegov.com/rod click on “Recording & Real Estate” click on “Historical Maps” click on “C.L. Mann & Tax Maps” (Note: Not all maps have been scanned a some currently are “out of order”; a plan is in place to correct this situation.) Tips to Utilize the C.L. Mann Real Estate Maps Numbering: Maps are numbered with a number, decimal and second number. The first number indicates the drawer in which the map is filed. The second number represents the numerical sequence of the map. (The decimal number has NOTHING to do with a decimal based system!!). For example, Map 6.80 is located in the 6 th Drawer and is the 80 th map in the drawer…between the 79 th and the 81 st . Map 6.8 is located in the 6 th Drawer and is the 8 th map in the drawer…between the 7 th and the 9 th . Spelling: Check as many alternate spellings as practical. Proper names and street names are equally prone to misinterpretation, mispronunciation and other nuisances of the English language. Road versus Street versus Drive: The proper base name of a thoroughfare should be “double checked”. Often the same thoroughfare was referred to in the variety of ways. So if you see, Main Drive, Main Street and Main Road…..look carefully at all references to “Main” to cover all your bases. Duplicate Indexing: For ease of use, some entries (particularly institutions) may be indexed multiple times. For instance, each church, school, cemetery or graveyard has been given this treatment. For example, The First Presbyterian Church, is also listed under “Church”; the River Road Elementary School, is also listed under “School”; Oakwood Cemetery or the Wilson Family Graveyard are both also indexed as “Cemetery”. Structures: Not all structures are indexed. However most bridges, dams, parks, geological landmarks are indexed. Carroll Lamb Mann (1877 – 1961) Carroll Lamb Mann was born on August 30, 1877 in Hyde County, North Carolina in the community of Fairfield. At the age of 18, he entered A&M College in Raleigh. Four years later, in 1899, he graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering and simultaneously started his employment with the College. In the summer of 1916, he attended graduate courses at Cornell University. After 17 years of being an instructor of civil engineering, he was appointed in 1916 as the head of the Department of Civil Engineering and remained in that position until his retirement in 1948. In 1919, Mr. Mann undertook an effort in which he would be involved the rest of his career….that of chairman of a group to building a monument on the N.C. State campus to honor the 33 college alumni who died in World War I. His efforts resulted in the Memorial Tower (“the Bell Tower”), which rises 122 feet above Hillsboro Street. At the time of his retirement in 1948, the tower had been completed, except for the addition of a Shrine Room. Mr. Mann was quoted as saying “My greatest experience has been the work I have done on that tower.” Early in his professional life he spent a brief time in Nicaragua as a member of the Second Isthmuian Canal project to determine whether Panama or Nicaragua was the best location for a canal connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. He also served as an assistant engineer for the Seaboard Air Line Railway. During the course of his career, he was affiliated with a variety of organizations, among them including Phi Kappa Phi, Tau Beta Pi, the North Carolina Society of Engineers, and the Raleigh Rotary Club. Among the many honors and awards given to him include a Life Membership from the American Society of Civil Engineers, being secretary of the North Carolina Board of Registration for Engineers and Land Surveyors and having two structures named in his honor on the N.C. State campus. In 1946, a four story civil engineering hall was named in Mann’s honor. The building contained offices, classrooms, a library, drafting rooms and study rooms. This building was incorporated into Daniels Hall in 1956. In 1964, the current Mann Hall was erected and the new structure was named in honor of Professor Mann. Professor Mann died on May 17, 1961 in Rex Hospital after a two week illness. He was a member of the Church of the Good Shepherd (Episcopal) and was buried in Historic Oakwood Cemetery next to his wife, Yanita Cribbs Mann (1882-1951, married 1903).

  • State of Our Streams 2006 Report Prepared by the City of Durham Stormwater Services Division
    A Report on Water Quality to the Citizens of Durham The State of Our Streams: 2006 Water quality, from the stream to the tap, affects us all. We depend on clean surface water (streams and lakes) for many uses such as drinking, recreating, and supporting aquatic life. Water flows from creeks, streams and rivers in Durham to local water supply reservoirs, including Falls Lake, Jordan Lake, Lake Michie and the Little River Reservoir. City and State parks are located along several waterways, and each year the Festival on the Eno grows larger. Surface water resources are important to the City of Durham, past, present and future. Northeast Creek Recognizing that surface waters are a finite resource that require constant protection, How is water quality? the Clean Water Act was passed in 1970. Additional programs have since been Water quality in the City of Durham ranges adopted at the federal level that require from Good to Poor depending upon where cities, and some counties, to develop you are in the city and depending upon how comprehensive stormwater management you judge water quality. One way to judge programs to protect and restore water water quality is by using the North Carolina quality in all surface waters. Stormwater Water Quality Standards. These standards runoff from urban and suburban areas of are independent of the land use and are cities has been identified as a primary cause intended to provide a baseline water quality of the degradation of streams, lakes, level.

Help Stop Stormwater Pollution! Rules directed at reducing the amount of algae in Call 560-SWIM to report anything in creeks or Falls Lake were adopted by the State in storm drains that is not water! November 2010. They became effective in January 2011. Jordan Lake rules have been in place since 2009. Because of these rules, new shopping centers, office buildings, neighborhoods, and other construction will have to take more nutrients out of stormwater that runs off their property. This way stormwater from hard surfaces such as driveways, parking lots, and roof tops continues to be treated far into the future. This will affect whoever has to maintain the stormwater treatment controls, such as homeowners associations and business property managers. The new stormwater rules cover not only new buildings, but also land that is already developed.
