Directions: From Raleigh Hwy. 40, go south on Hwy. 401 about 8 miles to 
Ten-ten Road (1010). Turn west (right) for about 3 miles to West Lake Road. 
Turn south (left) to the intersection of Optimist Farm Road and turn west

The Olive family has given it's name to a number of roads in southwest Wake 
County. This lovely rural rise decorated with wild raspberries and queen 
Anne's lace, on a once dirt road, holds the remains of a few of this family. 
Just up the road is a cluster of new schools and a number of subdivisions. 
The road has been paved and more urbanization is soon to come.
