About this map

Richardson Creek and its many tributaries, including Watson Creek and Mill Creek, define the drainage patterns of this Union County landscape. The area is characterized by a network of rural roads often bearing the names of local families, such as Zebulon Williams Rd, Haigler Gin Rd, and Henry Baucom Rd. The small community of Watson sits near the center of the sheet, surrounded by agricultural land and small woodlots.

Genealogists will find notable points of interest in the Williams Cemetery and Presson Cemetery. The topography rises toward Polk Mountain in the northeast, while the western portion of the map features significant water management structures like Twitty Dam on Lake Twitty and the Brewer Lake Dam on Brewer Lake. These reservoirs and the surrounding creek bottoms provide a detailed view of the water resources that have long supported this Piedmont community south of Monroe.
