1970 Map of Olive Branch

About this map

Olive Branch and Hamilton Crossroads anchor this rural landscape in the 1970s, where the boundary between Union and Anson counties follows the local creek drainage patterns. The area is defined by a dense network of small waterways, most notably Richardson Creek and Lakes Creek, which feed into the intricate branch systems that once dictated property lines and settlement patterns. Local landmarks like Rebel Hill and Cribs stand out as geographic anchors in a terrain otherwise marked by dispersed farming communities.
