About this map

Red Oak and the surrounding rural landscapes of Nash County are defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and small agricultural communities. This 2019 survey captures the area north of Nashville, where established nodes like Hilliardston, Dortches, and Taylors Store serve as local landmarks. The terrain is structured by winding waterways, including Swift Creek and Sandy Creek, which are spanned by historic crossings such as Coopers Bridge and Drakes Bridge.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous family burial grounds scattered throughout the quadrangle, from the Saint Johns Cem near the center of the sheet to the Vick Cem and Boseman Cem in the northwest. The presence of Double S Airport and named roads like Watson Seed Farm Rd reflect the intersection of traditional North Carolina farming with modern infrastructure. This detailed survey preserves the spatial relationships of these small settlements before continued regional development.
