About this map

Hares Crossroads and Hocutts Crossroads anchor this Johnston County landscape, where the rural character of the North Carolina coastal plain meets modern residential expansion. The area is defined by a dense network of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as the Whitley Cem, Hocutt Cem, and Murphy Cem, which provide essential grounding for genealogical research in this part of the state.

Water management is a central theme of the terrain, visible in the numerous impoundments like Atkinson Mill Pond, Flowers Pond Number One, and the Raleigh Municipal Lake along the Little River. These features, alongside Buffalo Creek and Cattail Lake, illustrate the historical and ongoing reliance on local waterways for community resources and milling operations. The map also shows the transition of traditional settlements like Emit and Jordan as they are integrated into a changing suburban grid near the Neuse River.
