North Carolina Highway 13 (NC 13) was a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The highway connected US 220 north of Seagrove with US 421 in Staley. The routing of the highway was fairly rural, with Staley the only notable town along the routing. The route was established in 1935 and decommissioned in 1951.

Route description

NC 13 began at US 220 about three miles north of Seagrove. The highway ran northeast along present-day Old State Highway 13, passing just south of the North Carolina Zoo. Before reaching NC 902, the highway turned briefly to the north and crossed a tributary of the Deep River. NC 13 followed NC 902 to the east for approximately two miles before turning to the northeast along present-day Hinshaw Town Road. Turning to the east, the highway crossed the Deep River before intersecting NC 22, north of Coleridge. From there the highway followed present-day Parks Crossroads Church Road to the north. The highway passed through the unincorporated community of Parks Crossroads before continuing north to US 64. After crossing US 64, the highway continued to the north along present-day Browns Crossroads Road. NC 13 entered Staley from the south along Main Street and intersected US 421 (present-day Staley Street).[2][3][4]

History

NC 13 was established in 1935[1][2][note 1] as the third and final incarnation of NC 13.[citation needed] The 1936 state highway map shows the highway running from US 220 to NC 902, west of Coleridge. From there the highway followed along NC 902 for two miles before running northeast to Staley. The highway routing did not change from the original alignment. In 1936 a majority of the highway's road surface was either gravel or topsoil. However the segment between NC 22 and US 64 had an earth road surface.[2][note 1] By 1951 the entire road surface was gravel/topsoil, however only the section concurrent with NC 902 was paved.[3][note 1] NC 13 was decommissioned in 1951 due to the southern extension of US 13 into North Carolina.[3][5][note 1]

The entire route was in Randolph County.
