About this map

Carolina Sandhills dominate the landscape in this late 1960s survey of the border between Kershaw and Chesterfield counties. The eastern portion of the sheet is largely defined by the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge, where a network of firebreaks and trails, including the Old State Road, cut through the wooded terrain. Scattered settlements such as Angelus and Catarrh anchor the rural infrastructure, while numerous country churches like Rocky Creek Ch and Sandy Run Ch serve the local community.

The Lynches River meanders through the southwestern corner, joined by tributaries such as Buffalo Creek and Swift Creek. The map provides a clear look at the region’s hydrology and transportation history, featuring an Old RR Grade and the Wire Road alongside modern state routes. Small water bodies like Lake James and Lake No 17 are tucked within the refuge, reflecting the area's conservation land use.
