About this map

Olive Branch and the surrounding DeSoto County landscape are captured here along the Tennessee Mississippi border. The map documents a transition from the southern edges of Memphis and Collierville into a terrain defined by numerous family-named cemeteries and small watercourses like Camp Creek and Nolehoe Creek. Residential growth is evident near Maywood Lake and the community of Fairhaven.

Genealogists will find significant value in the density of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including Clements Cem, Blocker Cem, and Wiggins Cem. The southern portion of the sheet is anchored by the Coldwater River, which flows near the community of Cedarview. Major transportation corridors, including Lamar Ave and Route 78, cut diagonally across the survey, illustrating the connectivity between these northern Mississippi settlements and the metropolitan Memphis area.
