2013 Map of Banoak

About this map

Banoak and the surrounding rural communities of Lincoln and Cleveland Counties are defined by a dense network of family roads and winding creek valleys. Cooksville and Wrays Crossroads anchor the northern reaches of the map, while Cat Square and Vale serve as local hubs further south. The landscape is notably hilly, rising to peaks at Lynn Mountain and Brendle Mountain, which overlook the twisting path of Jacob Fork. Along the southern border, Hulls Crossroads sits near Taylors Lake, marking a junction of regional importance. The map reflects a deeply established agricultural and residential pattern, where the terrain is segmented by numerous named tributaries like Little Indian Cr and Howards Cr, suggesting a long history of localized settlement and land division among the area's residents.
