1993 Map of Cary
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
Morrisville and Cary anchor this 1993 study of the growing North Carolina Research Triangle, a landscape defined by rapid suburban expansion and significant institutional footprints. The map details the transition from rural crossroads like Clegg, Carpenter, and Upchurch to a regional hub, with the expansive Raleigh-Durham Airport and Research Triangle State Park occupying the northern quadrants. Local community life is evidenced by numerous country congregations such as Shiloh Ch, Sorrels Grove Ch, and Reedy Creek Com Ch. The drainage network, including Crabtree Creek and Brier Creek, provides the topography for large protected areas like William B Umstead State Park. Transportation corridors are well-developed, featuring the Durham and Southern railroad and several major highway interchanges that were instrumental in the area's late 20th-century development.
