2016 Map of Gaddysville

About this map

Ashpole Swamp and the dense wetlands of Big Coupen Swamp dominate this landscape along the North Carolina South Carolina border. Small settlements like Gaddysville and Hammond Crossroads are linked by a network of rural roads that trace the higher ground between numerous bays and swamps, such as Butler Bay and Colson Bay. The map reveals a strong pattern of family and community history through its high concentration of local burial sites, including Pleasant Grove Cem, Mitchell Cem, and Worley Cem. Former industrial sites like Horns Old Millpond and its associated Horns Millrace indicate how the local hydrology was once managed for milling. Spiritual life in the area is anchored by landmarks like the Mount Zion Baptist Church, positioned near the state line, and the Piney Grove Baptist Church to the south.
