1993 Map of Raleigh West

About this map

The North Carolina State University campus and the historic core of Raleigh dominate this 1993 perspective, showcasing a city in transition. Extensive institutional grounds such as the Dorothea Dix State Hospital and Meredith College create a corridor of open space between the urban center and the growing western suburbs like Cary. The capital's civic heart is clearly defined by the State Capitol, Governor Mansion, and Central Prison. This era's infrastructure is marked by major highway developments, including Interchange 293, which facilitates movement past the State Fairgrounds and Carter Stadium. To the northwest, the map transitions into the sprawling woodlands of William B Umstead State Park, while the southern reaches are shaped by Lake Johnson and the North Carolina State University Research Unit.
