About this map

Hocutts Crossroads and Archers Lodge anchor this rural landscape in Johnston County during the mid-1960s. The map reveals a dense network of family-centered landmarks and rural institutions, including the Corinth Holder High Sch and numerous country churches such as Salem Ch, New Bethel Ch, and Branch Chapel. This area is defined by the drainage of Buffalo Creek and the Little River, where the terrain transitions into the lowlands of the Neuse River at the southwestern corner.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the many family-named cemeteries, including Watkins Chapel Cem, Whitley Cem, and Neal Cem. The presence of Camp Atkinson near the Little River and a Lookout Tower near Long Branch highlights the mix of recreational and forestry management uses during this era. Small crossroads settlements like Emit and Flowers show the early residential patterns before modern suburban expansion transformed the region.
