2012 Map of Olive Branch

About this map

Olive Branch serves as the focal point of this Mississippi-Tennessee border region, showcasing a landscape where suburban growth meets established rural landmarks. The survey documents the area's transition into a regional hub, anchored by the Olive Branch Airport and Davis Field Airport. Traces of the region's earlier character are preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Blocker Cem, Clemonts Cem, and Wiggins Cem, which dot the outskirts of the primary settlement. The natural drainage of the territory is defined by the Coldwater River in the southeast and the meandering Camp Cr in the north. Neighboring communities like Fairhaven, Cedarview, and Miller are connected by a developing road network including Goodman Rd and Church Rd, illustrating the expansion of the Memphis metropolitan fringe during this era.
