1973 Map of Northeast Durham

About this map

The Eno River, Little River, and Flat River converge here, feeding into the expanding waters of Falls Lake and the Neuse River. This 1970s landscape shows the transition from rural Durham and Granville counties toward suburban expansion, anchored by settlements like Gorman, Fairntosh, and Butner. The inclusion of Falls Lake State Park in the updated 1984 purple revisions illustrates the significant hydrological changes that reshaped the terrain for recreation and water management.
