About this map

Buckhorn Lake dominates the northeastern landscape of this Johnston County region, fed by several smaller waterways including Moccasin Creek and Bull Branch. The area is defined by its numerous crossroads communities and rural gatherings, such as Stilleys Crossroads and Dixie Crossroads. These nodes often developed around local landmarks or places of worship, evidenced by the central positions of Stancils Chapel and Moores Chapel.

To the south, the settlement of Shoeheel and the nearby Shoeheel Cemetery provide a focal point for local family history research. The topography is marked by slow-moving water systems like Little Buffalo Creek and the Little River, which separate various farming tracts and residential pockets like Lake Andrew Acres. The map reveals a network of roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Antioch Church Rd and Crockers Nub Rd, which weave together the small-scale communities of Heflin and Crockers Nub.
