2011 Map of Dovesville

About this map

Black Creek winds through this Darlington County landscape, serving as a primary drainage corridor near Dovesville and Antioch. The map reveals a rural geography defined by family-named landmarks and water-control structures, such as McIntosh Millpond and Jeffords Millpond. For those tracing local heritage, the density of burial sites is significant, ranging from the Howle Cemetery in the northwest to the distinct Black Creek Cemetery and Old Black Creek Cemetery further south. The presence of the Darlington County Airport and the Ross Strip reflects the area's aviation infrastructure, while small settlements like Birdstown Crossroads and Auburn anchor the various country roads and state highways that crisscross the terrain. Tributaries like Everlasting Branch and Buckholtz Creek feed into the larger creek system, illustrating the natural irrigation patterns that once supported local mills and agriculture.
