About this map

Cape Fear River dominates the northeastern landscape of this Bladen County region, carving a winding path past notable terrain features like Big Sugar Loaf and Little Sugar Loaf. South of the county seat of Elizabethtown, the terrain transitions into a complex network of creeks and bays, including Cotton Head Bay and Rice Pond Bay. The settlement pattern is defined by rural communities and historical family hubs such as Mount Olive, Bluefield, and Clarks Crossroads.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the area, from the Mount Olive Cemeteries to smaller family-named plots like Lee Cem, McKoy Cem, and McCall Cem. Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the Curtis L Brown Jr Field and a dense web of local roads such as Mercer Mill Rd and Mount Olive Rd, which connect these dispersed settlements and agricultural lands.
