About this map

The Neuse River winds across the northern reaches of this coastal plain landscape, where the boundary between Johnston Co and Wayne Co follows the erratic path of its tributaries. The settlement of Grantham serves as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural community, flanked by small aviation sites like the Cox-Grantham Airfield and Scottbrook Farm Airport. The map reveals a high density of family-named roads and landmarks, such as Stevens Church Rd and Selah Church Rd, indicating a deeply rooted local history tied to these rural crossroads.

A complex network of waterways, including Raccoon Swamp and several branches like Raynor Mill Br and Kennedy Mill Br, suggests a legacy of early milling operations that once defined the local economy. In the northeast, the community of Stevens Mill remains a namesake of this industry. The terrain is marked by numerous drainage features and rural lanes like Dobbersville Rd, reflecting the persistent rural character of the region south of the river.
