About this map

Baton Rouge and the surrounding Chester County landscape are defined by a complex network of waterways feeding into the Sandy River. This 2014 survey documents a region where rural community life and water resources intersect, notably around the Mountain Lakes area and the Chester Reservoir. The map reveals a high concentration of local heritage sites, including family and community burial grounds such as Mt Moriah Cem, Old Zion Cem, and Grant Cem.

Transport and commerce are anchored by historic routes like Pinckney Rd and the presence of industrial footprints like Gayle Mill. These landmarks, alongside smaller settlements like Radcliff, illustrate the transition from traditional milling and farming toward contemporary land use. The intricate drainage patterns of Gum Spring Br, Bear Br, and Walkers Mill Br provide a detailed look at the hydrology that shaped early South Carolina settlement patterns.
