About this map

University of North Carolina and the sprawling campus of Chapel Hill dominate the southeastern quadrant of this late-century landscape. The map captures the dense urban core extending into Carrboro and residential neighborhoods like Glen Lennox and Briarcliff. Infrastructure critical to the university town’s operations is clearly marked, from the Horace Williams Airport to the Hospital and Kenan Stadium.

Beyond the academic center, the terrain rises toward Iron Mine Hill and the heights of Blackwood Mtn, contrasting the developed valleys of Bolin Creek with the more rural reaches of Meadow Flats. To the west, University Lake serves as a major hydrological anchor, while the southern edge touches the expansive waters of B Everett Jordan Lake. Smaller outlying settlements like Eubanks and Calvander reflect the transition from the collegiate hub to the rolling uplands of Orange County.
