About this map

The border between North Carolina and South Carolina divides this landscape, where the sandy soils of Richmond and Marlboro counties meet. The small settlements of Diggs, Osborne, and Fulton serve as anchors in a region defined by its water systems and rural congregations. Small impoundments and wetlands are frequent, including Everetts Lake and Everette Mill Pond, which feed into the intricate network of Whites Creek and Hicks Creek.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the various church and cemetery sites, such as the Saint Stephens Cem and the Pleasant Hill Methodist Church Cem. The terrain rises slightly at Ballast Ridge, overlooking the drainage of White Creek. Roadways like the Old Cheraw Hwy and Seaboard Rd illustrate the established transportation corridors that have long connected these cross-border communities and their agricultural lands.
