About this map

The Pee Dee River defines the eastern edge of this region, separating Chesterfield and Marlboro counties. The town of Cheraw serves as the central hub, showing a concentrated street grid that includes the Town Hall, a Hospital, and several educational institutions like Cheraw Academy and Long Jr High Sch. To the south, the expansive Cheraw State Park surrounds Eureka Lake, adjacent to the Cheraw National Fish Hatchery.

Transportation patterns reflect both historical and contemporary routes, from the path of the Old Plank Road in the north to the active Seaboard Coast Line Railroad cutting diagonally through the landscape. Smaller settlements and rural landmarks, such as Goodmans, Fisher Hill, and a high density of country churches including St Pauls Ch and Smithville Ch, provide significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family sites across the agricultural and wooded terrain.
