1968 Map of Raleigh West

About this map

The western expansion of Raleigh and the burgeoning campus of North Carolina State University define this landscape during a period of significant suburban development. The map details the transition from the institutional core of the State Capitol and Governor Mansion to the sprawling research and educational tracts of the N.C.S.U. Research Unit and Meredith College. Beyond the academic and government centers, the map documents established local communities like Method and Caraleigh, alongside large-scale public facilities including the Dorothea Dix State Hospital and Central Prison.
