2017 Map of Calhoun Creek

About this map

Calhoun Mill stands as a primary landmark in this corner of the South Carolina Piedmont, situated where the Little River and Calhoun Cr converge. The landscape is defined by the boundary between Abbeville and McCormick counties, featuring a network of rural settlements such as Mount Carmel and Charleston Crossroads. The area's history is anchored by several community burial grounds, including Calhoun Cem and Hopewell Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogical research. Much of the eastern terrain falls within the Sumter National Forest, where the topography is dissected by numerous watercourses like Lee Cr and White Cr. This contemporary survey preserves the names of early family-named crossings and junctions, such as Mars Bridge and Belcher Crossroads, illustrating the enduring spatial patterns of this agricultural and timber-producing region.
