About this map

The borderlands of Richmond County, North Carolina, and Marlboro County, South Carolina, are defined here by a series of low ridges and winding creek beds. This modern topographic view captures the rural character of the region, where the Seaboard railroad corridor runs north-to-south, connecting the small community of Osborne with the broader rail network. Further west, the settlement of Diggs sits near the intersection of the Old Cheraw Hwy and Horseshoe Rd.

Local history and genealogy are preserved through several documented landmarks, including Saint Stephens Cem and the Pleasant Hill Methodist Church Cem. The landscape is intricately carved by water, featuring Marks Cr and Whites Cr, while Ballast Ridge provides a distinct geographic anchor in the southwestern portion of the map. These features together illustrate a persistent pattern of rural habitation and agriculture spanning the state line.
