"This Map of Durham as I remember in 1867-1868. Drawn from memory entirely and no attempt made at correct angles or measurements."
Lewis Blount of Abbeville, South Carolina penned this map in 1923. He called it, "This Map of Durham as I remember in 1867-1868. Drawn from memory entirely and no attempt made at correct angles or measurements." He delineates some of the natural features--creeks and springs--major roads, the North Carolina railroad line running through town, of what is now downtown Durham and southwest Durham. He also provides an index to some sixty sites including graveyards, homesteads, churches, black- and white-owned businesses and factories.
