2011 Map of Bethune

About this map

The Lynches River meanders southward through this South Carolina landscape, defining the corridor between the established railroad towns of Bethune and McBee. This era shows a region shaped by its water sources and historical routes, where old thoroughfares like Old Wire Rd and Wire Rd trace paths through the timber and farmland of Chesterfield and Kershaw counties. Local genealogy and history are anchored by long-standing landmarks such as the Bethel Cemetery and Sandy Level Cemetery, while the McBee Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the surrounding forests.
