1997 Map of Hobgood

About this map

Hobgood serves as a central hub in this late-twentieth-century landscape, where the convergence of rail and road corridors reflects the historical development of the Halifax and Edgecombe county border. The map reveals a high density of small-scale family and community landmarks, particularly evident in the dozens of named burial sites such as Cobb Cem, Joyner Cem, and Leggett House Cem. These features, often located near rural intersections like Mullins Crossroads and Edwards Fork, provide valuable evidence of historical land ownership and ancestral settlement patterns.
