1998 Map of Southeast Goldsboro

About this map

Seymour Johnson Air Force Base dominates the landscape southeast of Goldsboro, anchoring the region's mid-century development. The map reveals the intricate drainage system where the Neuse River receives tributaries like Stoney Creek and Walnut Creek, creating a varied topography of low-lying wetlands such as the Walnut Pocosin. This area transitions from the urban edge of the county seat into rural communities like Adamsville and Elroy, where the density of small churches and schools suggests a tight-knit social fabric in the late 20th century.
