I just moved to the area (Carrboro) with two large dogs that love daily 3-mile+ hikes. I've stumbled across a few hiking trails already but have yet to find a map or list of various trails around this area.

I don't know of a map, but Bolin creek runs down one side of them, and the train tracks are on the other, so it is pretty tough to get lost. I typically ride 12 miles on them, and don't hit every trail, so there's plenty in there to explore before you get bored.
I had the same question in Cary as I was wandering across a lot of non publicized greenway. So I added all the ones I found to open street map after jogging them with my GPS. The Cary trails are mapped quite well now... you can see the results:
