About this map

Duke University and North Carolina Central University anchor the urban landscape of southwest Durham, as it transitioned into a major academic and technological hub during the mid-1970s and 1980s. The map illustrates the southward expansion of the city toward the newly establishing Research Triangle Park and the vast waters of B Everett Jordan Lake. The documentation of academic infrastructure is extensive, including campuses for Durham Technical Institute and Durham College, alongside numerous community landmarks like Maplewood Cemetery and Lyon Park School.
