1978 Map of Bay Branch

About this map

Horse Creek and its many tributaries, including Middle Pond Br and Prong, define the rural landscape of this coastal plain region during the late 1970s. The settlement pattern is characterized by scattered homesteads and significant community nodes like Bay Branch, situated near the confluence of Mill Creek and Braggs Bay Br. This map serves as a vital record for genealogists, as it identifies numerous rural houses of worship and burial grounds that anchored local families, such as St Pauls Ch, Big Horse Creek Ch, and the St Josephs Cem.
