About this map

Feasterville serves as the primary focal point in this 1969 topographical study, situated at the southern edge of a landscape defined by the drainage basins of the Sandy River and Little Sandy River. The area is notably dense with rural religious sites, revealing a significant social geography centered on congregational life. Landmarks such as Sweet Hope Ch, Piney Grove Ch, and New Hope Ch are distributed throughout the countryside, often accompanied by family or church burial grounds like Sweet Hope Cem.

A substantial portion of the southwestern terrain is protected within the Sumter National Forest, where the land is carved by numerous tributaries including McClures Creek and Chicken Branch. The map also captures the path of a prominent Pipeline cutting through the northern hills near the Chester Co / Fairfield Co line. This survey provides a precise record of the road network and settlement patterns that linked these Piedmont communities before modern development altered the rural character.
