About this map

Raleigh centers this 1940s landscape as the hub of a thriving regional network defined by the Neuse River and a trio of major rail lines including the Seaboard Railway and Norfolk Southern RR. The capital city is surrounded by an array of educational and social institutions, from the campus of Meredith College and State College to the State Hospital and County Home. Smaller communities like the historically significant Method and the milling site at Milburnie sit just outside the urban core.
