2022 Map of Justice

About this map

Stallings Crossroads and the surrounding rural communities of Justice and Mapleville anchor this portion of the coastal plain, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Tar River and its numerous tributaries. Small settlements such as Hickory Rock and Margaret are connected by a network of family-named roads, including Ronald Tharrington Rd and Earlie Collins Rd, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural heritage of the region. The map highlights the transition of local hydrology through features like Cypress Cr and Jumping Run, which feed into larger water bodies such as Harris Pond Number Two. This documentation captures the area at a point of continued rural character, evidenced by the preservation of naming conventions that tie the land to its long-standing resident families and local landmarks like Stallings Memorial Park.
