1973 Map of Northwest Durham
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Durham expands northward into the Piedmont landscape in the early 1970s, bounded by the Orange Co Durham Co line. The campus of Duke University and the VA Hospital anchor the southwestern corner, while the Eno River and Little River wind through the more rural northern reaches. This era shows the suburban transition between the established city center and the outlying countryside, where long-standing community centers like Braggtown and Weaver are being integrated into the urban fabric.
