1993 Map of Southeast Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Research Triangle Park anchors the southwestern portion of this landscape, reflecting the late 20th-century development of this technological corridor between Durham and Raleigh. The map captures a mix of rapid suburban expansion and established rural communities such as Bethesda, Oak Grove, and Lynn Crossroads. Transportation and infrastructure are central to the area's identity, with the Raleigh-Durham Airport occupying significant space in the southeast, while the Durham Co Wake Co line bisects the region. Natural spaces and public lands provide a buffer to the growing urban centers, including the protected boundaries of the Falls Lake State Recreation Area and William B Umstead State Park. Cultural landmarks, from Southern High Sch to numerous local congregations like Andrews Chapel and Village Chapel, show the social fabric of these North Carolina communities during the 1990s.
