About this map

Seymour Johnson Air Force Base dominates the central landscape of this Wayne County study, where military infrastructure meets the winding path of the Neuse River. The map captures the suburban and rural expansion around Goldsboro, detailing neighborhood street grids in areas like Webtown and Airboro alongside traditional agricultural and wooded lands. Significant local history is preserved through the documentation of several burial grounds, including the expansive Eastern Carolina State Veterans Cem and the New Hope Friends Cem.

Hydrological features define the southern and eastern reaches, with the Sleepy Creek Lake Upper and Sleepy Creek Lake Lower reservoirs providing distinct landmarks. To the east, the terrain transitions into the low-lying Walnut Pocosin and the marshy environment of Bogue Marsh near the community of Walnut Creek. This survey provides a clear look at the network of rural routes, such as Emmaus Church Rd and Rifle Range Rd, that connect these disparate military, residential, and natural spaces.
