1973 Map of Northwest Durham

About this map

Durham expands northward toward the Eno River during this era of significant institutional and suburban development. The presence of Duke University, Elder VA Hospital, and Watts Hospital underscores the city's role as a major medical and educational hub. Industrial and state infrastructure is visible at the State Prison and the various radio towers, including Radio Tower (WTVD) and Radio Towers (WDNC), while the northern fringes maintain a more rural character with numerous country churches like Mt Sylvan Ch and Cains Chapel Ch.
