2010 Map of Flowers

About this map

Flowers and the surrounding Johnston County landscape are defined by a network of agricultural crossroads and small water bodies in this 2010 survey. The area exhibits a distinct pattern of family-named settlements and cemeteries, such as Hares Crossroads, Hocutts Crossroads, and the Whitley Cemetery, illustrating the deep-rooted local genealogy of the region. Water management is a primary feature of the terrain, with numerous impoundments like Lake Wendell, Cattail Lake, and the Continental Can Company Lake dotting the drainage of Buffalo Creek and the Little River. This period shows a transition toward more modern infrastructure, including the Flowers Ranch Airport and the development of residential areas like Hidden Acres, while still maintaining the traditional rural layout of historic farmsteads and narrow fire roads like Thanksgiving Fire Rd.
