1943 Map of Raleigh
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Raleigh and its northern rural environs are documented here just before the mid-century expansion, showing the state capital's grid surrounded by institutional landmarks and small agricultural crossroads. The presence of the State Penitentiary, State Hospital, and State Fairgrounds on the city's periphery illustrates its role as North Carolina's administrative hub. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into a network of creek-side communities and rural schools such as the Rosenwald Sch and the Lovely Hill Sch, reflecting the segregated educational infrastructure of the period.
