About this map

Corinth Holder High Sch and a network of rural crossroads define this Johnston County landscape during the mid-1960s. The area is characterized by scattered small communities and significant family-named landmarks, including Archers Lodge, Emit, and Flowers. The survey reveals a deeply established social fabric centered on local institutions such as Salem Ch, New Bethel Ch, and Spring Hill Ch, alongside numerous private burial grounds like Whitley Cem and Woodard Cem.

Waterways like Buffalo Creek and the Neuse River cut through the terrain of Wilders and O'Neals townships. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the era, from the Lookout Tower and Gravel Pit to Camp Atkinson near the Little River. These details illustrate the transition of this North Carolina region before later suburban expansion, preserving the locations of farmsteads and rural school districts.
