About this map

Peacocks Crossroads and Blackmon Crossroads anchor this rural landscape in Johnston County, defined by a network of swamps, ponds, and low-lying drainages. The area is intersected by Interstate 40, which cuts a modern path across older corridors such as Old Hwy 96 and Stricklands Crossroads Rd. Significant water features like Johnson Swamp, Dismal Br, and the oddly named The Dismal suggest a challenging, wet terrain that historically dictated the placement of settlements and transport routes.

Local industry and recreation are represented by sites like Lees Mill and Fiddleair Airport, while family history is grounded at the Barefoot Cem. The southern edge of the map follows the Johnston Co and Sampson Co boundary, passing through small communities such as Glenwood Crossroads and McKoy. The landscape remains largely agricultural and forested, with pockets of development clustered around the numerous historical crossroads that give the region its character.
