1973 Map of Southeast Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The boundary between Durham Co and Wake Co serves as the spine of this mid-1970s topographical record, which captures a period of intense institutional and infrastructure development. The Research Triangle Park and the sprawling Raleigh-Durham Airport dominate the southern portion of the sheet, illustrating the transition from rural crossroads to a modern technological and transit hub. Waterways like Lick Creek and Brier Creek carve through the landscape, while the northern edge is marked by the newly formed Falls Lake and its associated Falls Lake State Park.
