1961 Map of Bee Branch

Genealogists can trace a high density of country churches and family-named cemeteries, from Steele Hopewell Ch and Mt Zion Ch to the Quattlebaum Cem and Hardin Cem. The map also captures the local economy and social life of the early 1960s through features like the Fish Hatchery near Martinville and Camp Kiwanis at the base of Harris Mountain. This survey provides a clear look at the network of schools and small settlements such as Southside, Morganton, and Guy before later twentieth-century development altered the rural road patterns.
