About this map

Goldsboro expands toward the northeast in this early 1980s landscape, where the traditional agricultural grid of Wayne County meets modern institutional growth. The Seaboard rail line and the Atlantic and East Carolina railroad anchor the transit network, connecting the city to outlying communities like Pikeville and Patetown. Education and healthcare infrastructure are prominent, with the sprawling campuses of Wayne Community College and Wayne Co Mem Hospital established as major local landmarks alongside the Goldsboro-Wayne Municipal Airport.

Rural character persists in the numerous family cemeteries and country churches, such as Antioch Ch and Best Grove Ch, which remain tucked between drainage features like The Slough and Stoney Creek. The map detail captures a specific transitional era as residential developments like Coley Acres and Pinewood began filling in the spaces between older crossroads settlements like Musgrave Crossroads and Saulston.
