1951 Map of Greensboro

About this map

Greensboro serves as a dense educational and industrial hub in this mid-century survey, defined by its concentration of academic institutions and neighborhood clusters. The campus landscapes of Womens College Univ of N C, A & T College, Bennett College, and Greensboro College anchor the city's central and eastern districts. The Southern Railway corridors facilitate a network of industrial and residential zones, including the brick-making area of Terra Cotta and the mill-associated communities of Proximity and Revolution.
