2011 Map of Blackstock

About this map

Blackstock and Woodward anchor this South Carolina landscape, reflecting a long history of rural settlement and agriculture in Fairfield and Chester Counties. The map reveals a network of country roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Hopewell Church RD and Douglas School RD, which point to the locations of former community centers. Waterways like Big Wateree Creek and the Little River wind through the terrain, historically influencing farm boundaries and travel routes. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several burial sites, including the Blackstock Cemetery, Concord Cemetery, and New Hope Cemetery. The small settlements of McKeown and Cornwell further illustrate the distribution of small-scale hamlets across this piedmont region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
