1971 Map of Flint Hill

About this map

Wateree Lake dominates the eastern boundary of this Fairfield County landscape, where the Catawba River and Wateree River converge amidst a complex system of wooded tributaries. This 1971 field check records the rural character of the region just before significant modern development, centered on small settlements like Flint Hill and Bucklick. The map reveals a community defined by its spiritual and logistical hubs, including Mt Zion Ch, Rock Hill Ch, and White Oak Ch. Significant waterways like Big Wateree Creek and Dutchmans Creek carve through the terrain, while the presence of a Landing Strip and a Gravel Pit indicates the local infrastructure and industry of the early 1970s. The tri-county boundary where Fairfield, Lancaster, and Kershaw meet in the riverbed provides a specific point of interest for researchers tracing historical jurisdictional lines.
