1973 Map of Southwest Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Duke University and North Carolina Central University anchor the northern landscape of this region during a period of significant suburban expansion. The transition from the urban core of Durham to the rural south is marked by a network of drainage basins, including New Hope Creek and Northeast Creek, which feed into the extensive B Everett Jordan Lake in the southwest. This era shows the early footprints of the Triangle Research Park, signaling the area's shift toward a knowledge-based economy.
