1973 Map of Southwest Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Duke University and the expanding south side of Durham define the landscape of the early 1970s, a period of significant institutional and residential growth. This topographic record documents the city's southward reach toward Lowes Grove and the small community of Blands, anchored by academic centers like North Carolina Central University and Durham College. The map captures a transition in water management and land use, with the rising waters of B Everett Jordan Lake appearing in the southern reaches, fed by New Hope Creek and Northeast Creek.
