About this map

The North Carolina Piedmont and Sandhills regions are extensively detailed in this 1953 study, showing the mid-century expansion of the Research Triangle and the military footprint of the Sandhills. Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill anchor the northern section, while the southern portion is dominated by the expansive Fort Bragg Military Reservation, Pope Air Force Base, and Camp Mackall. The landscape is a complex network of river systems, including the Neuse River and Cape Fear River, interspersed with numerous reservoirs like Lake Tillery and Badin Lake along the Yadkin River in the west.
