2016 Map of Red Oak

About this map

Red Oak and the surrounding rural landscape of Nash County are defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and winding waterways. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural character of the region, where numerous burial sites such as Saint Johns Cem, Boseman Cem, and Arrington Cem are preserved among the fields. The terrain is drained by Swift Creek and Big Basket Cr, with historic crossing points like Coopers Bridge and Drakes Bridge connecting the patchwork of local roads. Small hubs of activity are clustered at Taylors Store and Dortches, while the presence of the Double S Airport and scattered residential expansion along Cedar Grove School Loop Rd shows the modern evolution of these historic crossroads. The map offers a clear view of land divisions and property access, making it a valuable tool for tracing local genealogy and land use patterns.
