2011 Map of Due West

About this map

Due West serves as the focal point of this Abbeville County landscape, where the educational and residential core is surrounded by a network of rural settlements and family cemeteries. The terrain is defined by the branching tributaries of the Little River, including Chickasaw Creek and Hogskin Creek, which shaped early land boundaries and transport routes. Evidence of established local lineages is visible in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as the Ashley Cemetery near Level Land and the McClain Cemetery in the north. Practical river crossings like Tucker Bridge and Fairs Bridge connect the outlying communities of West View and Fairs Crossroads to the town center. The presence of L R Powell Lake and the South Carolina Noname 01003 D-3037 Dam reflects the mid-century water management efforts that supplemented the natural flow of Park Creek and Johnson Creek.
