About this map

Carlisle serves as a central hub on this Union County landscape, where the confluence of regional roads meets the meandering Broad River. The area’s riverine history is evident at Fishdam Ford, a notable crossing point north of Shelton Island. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Cane Creek, Brocks Creek, and Sandy River, which carve through the countryside toward the Broad River basin.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through several rural burial grounds such as Hill Cemetery, Fish Dam Cemetery, and Kellys Cemetery. The map also documents smaller outlying locales like Tuckertown and Herbert, alongside managed water features like Gus Jeter Lake and Salinas Pond. This modern survey reflects a landscape still largely defined by its traditional rural settlement patterns and the natural flow of its waterways, preserved even as contemporary infrastructure such as the South Sandy Boat Ramp provides modern access to the river.
