Thanks Betty for your input. I have a hand-drawn map that shows Litton Creek
branching off from Terrapin Creek. The cartographer seems to be a Howard
Edwards. I found it in the Catawba County Historical Association library.
However, I haven't been able to find Litton Creek on any present-day map.
Germany is cold and rainy right now, but I like it here. Thanks again,
Betty!
