2019 Map of Gibson

About this map

Gibson stands at the southwestern edge of this survey where the boundary between North and South Carolina defines the local landscape. The geography of the region is shaped by the numerous watercourses and drainage systems such as Gum Swamp Cr, Upper Beaverdam Cr, and Beasley Br, which historically supported local industry at sites like Richmond Mill and Ida Mill. The settlement pattern follows a mix of established towns and smaller named communities, including Old Hundred, Laurel Hill, and Livingstons Quarters. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, ranging from the Old Hundred Cem and McDonald Cem to the Snead-Norton Cem and Peels Chapel Cem, reflecting generations of residence in this corner of Scotland County.
