2014 Map of McBean

About this map

McBean sits at the northern edge of this landscape, marking the transition from southern Richmond County into Burke County along McBean Cr. The area is characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Crockett Cem, Mixon Cem, and Knight Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways such as Boggy Gut Cr and Mount Zion Br, punctuated by numerous small impoundments like Miles Pond and Hagler Lake. To the west, the Sandy Hill Airport represents the modest aviation infrastructure of the region. Near the southern border, the settlement of Shell Bluff and the waters of Brier Creek anchor the rural landscape, which remains largely shaped by timber interests as evidenced by Southland Timber Lake.
