About this map

Blackstock sits along the border of Chester Co and Fairfield Co, anchoring a rural landscape defined by historic settlements and an intricate network of waterways. Following the path of Columbia Rd, the terrain transitions between the small communities of Cornwell and Woodward. Local history is preserved in sites like the Concord Church Graveyard and New Hope Church Graveyard, which offer touchpoints for genealogical research in this portion of the South Carolina Piedmont.

The drainage patterns are particularly prominent, with the Little River winding through the western portion of the map and Big Wateree Creek flowing to the southeast. These watercourses, along with Turkey Creek and Shannon Creek, historically influenced the placement of early homesteads and roads such as Lewis Store Rd and Hopewell Church Rd. This documentation provides a clear look at the contemporary road network and drainage that continue to shape the region.
