1968 Map of Raleigh East

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Raleigh expands eastward in the mid-1970s, where urban development meets the winding course of the Neuse River. The landscape is defined by the intersection of major transit corridors, including the Seaboard Coast Line and Norfolk Southern railroads, which support the region's industrial and institutional infrastructure. Key landmarks like St Augustines College and the State Correctional Center anchor the western edge, while suburban growth pushes toward older communities like Millbrook and New Hope. Significant water features such as Milburnie Lake and Crabtree Creek highlight the drainage patterns that shaped local settlement. This survey, updated with 1973 aerial data, captures a transitional era for the state capital as residential subdivisions begin to displace the woodlands near Pet Crossroads and Wilders Grove.
