1951 Map of Durham South

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Durham dominates the northern edge of this Piedmont landscape, appearing just as the mid-century suburban expansion began to reshape the surrounding tobacco and timber lands. The sheet captures the critical infrastructure of the era, including the expanding Raleigh-Durham Airport and the complex intersection of the Southern and Seaboard Air Line railroads. Beyond the city limits, the terrain is defined by a dense network of country churches and schools that served rural communities like Morrisville, Cary, and Green Level.
