2022 Map of Southwest Goldsboro

About this map

The Neuse River winds across the northern landscape of Wayne County, defining the corridor between the city of Goldsboro and its southern outlying communities. This modern survey illustrates the established suburban and rural residential patterns of the area, where clusters of development like Mar-Mac and Genoa are situated between the river and several expansive swamp systems. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the wetlands of Thoroughfare Swamp and Brooks Swamp, showing how the natural hydrology of the coastal plain has shaped the local road network and settlement locations. Notable landmarks for genealogists and local historians include Rhodes Cem, Resthaven Memorial Park, and Wayne Memorial Park, alongside smaller named points of interest like Stevens Mill and Dudley. The map also captures the Neuse River Cut-Off and Big Ditch, indicating 21st-century water management efforts near the urban center.
