About this map

The boundary between Wake and Johnston counties marks the northern reaches of this coastal plain landscape, where agricultural tradition meets modern arterial development. Several small crossroads settlements define the region, including the cluster of activity at McGee Crossroads, Johnson Crossroads, and Coats Crossroads. These hubs are interconnected by a network of rural roads and long-established paths through the surrounding wetlands and timber.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through numerous burial sites, such as the Nimrod Stephenson Memorial Cem, Penny Cem, and Saint Marys Grove Cem. The landscape is characterized by its complex water systems, notably Swift Creek in the north and the expansive Sassarixa Swamp to the southeast. Industrial history is represented by McGee Mill and McGee Pond, indicating the historical reliance on local water power for milling operations. From Middle Creek to the shoreline of Sunset Lake, the map documents a transition from traditional rural homesteads to contemporary residential patterns.
