About this map

The borderlands of Chesterfield and Kershaw Counties are defined by a complex network of waterways that flow through the Sandhills region of South Carolina. The settlement of Angelus sits as a central junction for local roads like Angelus Rd and Macedonia Rd, while Catarrh marks the western edge of the quadrangle near the Lynches River. This landscape is characterized by its numerous small lakes and ponds, including Hamburg Lake, Lake James, and Hortons Pond, which suggest a long history of water management and land use in this rural corridor.

Local family history is reflected in the naming of landmarks and thoroughfares such as Jimmy Knight Rd, Daddy Hendrix Ln, and McKay Jowers Loop. The terrain itself features the King Sand Hills and deep drainage basins like Big Sandy Cr and Jumping Gully. These natural features, combined with established local routes, provide a clear picture of the geographic organization of these rural communities as they appeared in the early 21st century.
