1964 Map of Edmondson

About this map

McGee Crossroads and the surrounding Johnston County landscape reveal a mid-century rural network defined by family-named landmarks and country crossroads. The terrain is divided by a series of south-flowing watercourses, including Middle Creek and Swift Creek, which historically dictated the placement of early mills and settlements. The community at Edmondson and the curiosly named Drug Store serve as focal points for a region deeply rooted in agricultural heritage, evidenced by the high density of small family plots and community graveyards like Penny Cem and Walton Cem.
