2020 Map of Bethune

About this map

The Lynches River and its expansive wetlands form a winding natural boundary between Kershaw and Chesterfield counties, anchoring a landscape shaped by slow-moving water and traditional mill sites. Historically significant water bodies like Hough Millpond and Blackwell Millpond indicate the region's reliance on creek-driven industry, while the Little Lynches River carves through the southern terrain. This 2020 survey documents the primary settlements of Bethune and McBee, showing the grid-like residential growth and surrounding agricultural roads. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites preserved here, including Sandy Level Cem and Bethel Cem near Bethune, as well as the more secluded Brannon Cem. The map provides a contemporary view of these established Sandhills communities, from the residential streets of McBee to the rural corridors like Old Creek Rd and Sowell Town Rd.
