1986 Map of Four Oaks
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Four Oaks serves as the central hub of this mid-1980s landscape, where the Seaboard railroad cuts diagonally through the terrain. The community’s educational and social life is anchored by the Four Oaks High School and a dense network of country churches, including Barbour Chapel and Juniper Grove Ch. Beyond the town center, the area is defined by its complex hydrology, with the Neuse River in the northeast and extensive wetlands like Gum Swamp and Beaverdam Swamp feeding into the Black Creek system. This map reveals a transition from traditional rural crossroads like Allens Crossroads to modern developments, evidenced by the numerous sandpits and the recreational waters of Holts Lake. Genealogists will find particular value in the numerous unnamed cemeteries (Cem) scattered throughout the agricultural plots and woodlands, marking the deep-rooted family settlements of this Johnston County region.
