About this map

Lancaster and its eastern environs are defined by a network of rural settlements and watercourses in this contemporary survey of the South Carolina piedmont. Small community hubs like Antioch, Elgin, and Pleasant Dale anchor the landscape, while larger infrastructure is represented by the Lancaster Reservoir and the Kirk Air Base Airport. The area is bisected by major thoroughfares such as SC-9 and the Kershaw-Camden Hwy, which connect these dispersed crossroads.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate family-named landmarks and resting places, including Caskey Cem and Baskins Cem. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system, featuring Turkey Quarter Cr, Gills Cr, and Bear Cr. These waterways, along with numerous ponds like Harpers Pond and Betheas Pond, shaped the early settlement patterns and agricultural development of this portion of Lancaster County.
