About this map

The rolling agricultural landscape of Cleveland and Pleasant Grove townships unfolds across this mid-century survey, defined by a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural hubs. Central to the local community is the aptly named Drug Store settlement, while McGee Mill and Johnson Crossroads anchor the southern reaches. The map is a significant resource for genealogists, detailing dozens of rural cemeteries like the Nimrod Stephenson Memorial Cem, Penny Cem, and Walton Cem, alongside numerous country churches including St Amandas Ch and Shiloh Ch.

Hydrography such as Swift Creek, Middle Creek, and Buffalo Creek shaped the early development patterns of this area on the Wake and Johnston county line. The transition of the era is visible in the mix of traditional farmstead infrastructure and the emergence of modern utilities, indicated by a Radio Tower and an extensive Pipeline corridor. From the Cleveland Sch to the small community of Edmondson, this sheet records the essential social and geographical fabric of rural Johnston County.
