2016 Map of Selma

About this map

Smithfield and Selma serve as the primary hubs in this Johnston County landscape, where the Neuse River winds through a terrain defined by deep-rooted family histories and academic growth. The presence of Johnston Community Coll underscores the region's mid-century educational expansion, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small family burial grounds like the Henry Cem, Broadwell Cem, and Price Cem. These small plots, often situated near watercourses such as Buffalo Cr and Poplar Cr, provide a genealogical roadmap of the area's early settlers. To the west, the community of Wilsons Mills sits along the rail corridor, while the eastern edge is marked by the expansive W I Rouland Pond and the Crocker Cemeteries, reflecting a transition from the urban centers of West Smithfield to the more rural, pond-dotted eastern reaches.
