Johnson Ferry

William Marion Johnston, a Georgia native born in 1817, owned the farm at that location during the Civil War and raised thirteen children by two different wives.

It begins in Chamblee at Georgia 141 and travels northwest, and temporarily terminates in Sandy Springs south of I-285 at an intersection with Glenridge Drive.

Then it returns just north of I-285, also at Glenridge Drive, crossing north/south Roswell Road (Georgia 9 from Atlanta) (Hammond being the original name of Sandy Springs) near its central business district.

Johnson Ferry and Abernathy were "broken", such that they flow directly into each other, and now require a turn at two new intersections to stay straight on the original roads.

It runs along the Cobb side of the river, most of it northeast almost to Morgan Falls Dam, and a small section southwest along Columns Drive.
