1951 Map of Durham North

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Durham and its northern outskirts are captured here during a period of significant post-war development and institutional expansion. The map details the expansive grounds of Duke University and the Duke Forest to the southwest, while the northern landscape is dominated by the State College Forest and the Lake Michie reservoir on the Flat River. This 1951 revision shows a region defined by its diverse institutional presence, including the State Hospital near Butner and the State Prison further north.
