2014 Map of Blythe

About this map

Blythe and the smaller settlement of Bath anchor the landscape where the northern boundary of Burke County meets Richmond County. This area in 2014 is characterized by numerous family-named landmarks and water features, including McDonald Pond and Union Mill Pond. The terrain is drained by several branches, such as Leitners Br and Spirit Cr, which feed into larger systems like McBean Cr. Evidence of local heritage is found in numerous scattered burial grounds, such as Rachels Cem, Freeman Cem, and the Saxon Cem. Transportation across the region is facilitated by the Norfolk Southern railway and the long-established Deans Bridge Rd, which cuts diagonally across the quadrangle. A unique local landmark, the Pea Patch Aerodrome, sits south of the main road, while the Daughter of Zion Ch serves the community west of the town center.
