2011 Map of Ghio

About this map

Lightwood Knot Creek and Crooked Creek define the drainage of this borderland landscape, where the state line between North Carolina and South Carolina cuts through a region of rural settlements and small family burial grounds. This 2011 survey shows a community anchored by several small hubs, including Steen Town to the north and Green Pond to the southeast. The geography is notable for its numerous small impoundments such as Roscoe Pond, James Pond, and Terry Pond, often accompanied by local infrastructure like the James Pond Dam. Local history is preserved in the high density of named cemeteries scattered across the countryside, from Mount Moriah Cemetery and Tabernacle Cemetery to the smaller English Cemetery and Quick Cemetery. These sites, alongside landmarks like Aarons Temple and Ghio Scholl Station, reveal a settlement pattern tied to early transit routes and agricultural activity like that at the Wilva Fruit Farm.
