1974 Map of Southwest Goldsboro

About this map

The Neuse River winds through this 1970s landscape, defining the rural character south and west of Goldsboro. The map documents a transition point for the region, where the industrial footprint of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad intersects with long-standing agricultural communities like Dudley and Brogden. To the north, the Neuse River Cut-Off illustrates efforts to manage the river's path through the low-lying terrain of Yellow Marsh.
