2016 Map of Newton Grove North

About this map

Strickland Crossroads and the small settlements of Overshot, Harper, and Starlight anchor this rural landscape where Johnston, Wayne, and Sampson counties converge. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and drainage systems, notably Beaverdam Swamp and Kill Swamp, alongside water bodies such as J R Wells Lake and Blackman Pond. The presence of Battlefield Rd suggests the historical significance of the area, while the road network connects scattered farmsteads and rural residences through routes like Devils Racetrack Rd and Mill Creek Church Rd. This survey documents a quiet agrarian region where life remains oriented around traditional watercourses like Mill Cr and Hannah Cr. The map provides a clear view of local land use, from low-lying swampy bottoms to the higher ground occupied by established crossroads communities.
