About this map

Cheraw sits along the Pee Dee River at a vital crossing where the coastal plain meets the Sandhills. This contemporary survey shows the city's modern expansion into neighborhoods like Windsor Park and Fisher Hill, while maintaining its deep ties to the regional landscape. The transition from industrial and municipal development to rural farmland is evident in the surrounding settlements of Kimberly and Montrose. Notable institutional landmarks include the Northeastern Technical College and the Cheraw Municipal Airport Lynch Bellinger Field northwest of the city center.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites through several recorded burial grounds, including the historic Saint Davids Cem near the riverbank and the newer Chatham Hill Memorial Gardens. The drainage patterns of Thompson Creek and Huckleberry Br define the local topography, while the boundary between Chesterfield and Marlboro counties follows the path of the river, isolating landforms like Cane Island and Big Island.
