2014 Map of Chesterfield

About this map

The town of Chesterfield serves as the focal point of this South Carolina landscape, where the street grid of the county seat transitions into a rural topography defined by numerous creeks and historic mill sites. Settlement patterns follow the high ground between the drainage of Thompson Creek and Indian Cr, with community life centered around small hubs like Shiloh, Bethesda, and Hunts Mill. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds, including Chesterfield City Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Shiloh Cem. The area's agricultural and industrial heritage is evident in the cluster of remaining millponds, such as Teals Millpond, Robeson Millpond, and Merriman Millpond, which represent the historical water-powered economy of the region. The map also traces various branches and prongs, such as Twitty Prong and Mount Prong Cr, that feed into the larger Bear Creek system.
