Rock Branch is a crossroads community in the eastern part of Elbert County, named for the nearby creek known as Rock Branch. There are a lot of little creeks in this area. To my knowledge, they never even had a post office but they had at least two stores, and there’s a newer store serving the community today. Until a few years ago, there was a two-story Masonic lodge that also housed a store in days gone by. The historic Rock Branch Baptist Church is located here, as well is this old general store and filling station. The store sported a Phillips 76 gasoline sign in an older photograph I saw, in an architectural survey. The pumps have probably been gone for many years.
