USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The urban fringe south of Durham is depicted here during a period of significant regional transformation, particularly with the infrastructure for the Raleigh-Durham Airport and the expansion of the Jefferson Davis Highway. The landscape is a network of small agricultural and railroad communities, including Morrisville, Nelson, and Carpenter. This era shows the local social structure through numerous community-focused institutions such as Hope Valley High Sch, Massey Chapel, and O'Kellys Ch.
