There is a crossroads near here called Negro Foot.
I still have an old map that has that designation on it.
The story goes that an escaped slave had his foot amputated and posted at the crossroads as a warning to other potential runaways.
It’s been scrubbed from more recent maps.

Back home, we have Negro Mountain and Polish Mountain. A few years ago, all the virtue signalling, state social justice congrescritters suddenly got worked up into a lather about them and tried to have their names changed. FAIL.
