About this map

The borderlands between North Carolina and South Carolina are defined here by a dense network of small rural settlements and family cemeteries. Hamlet serves as a primary hub in the northern portion, giving way to smaller clusters like New Town, Steen Town, and the distinctive Ghio Scholl Station near the county line. The landscape is heavily marked by water management and natural drainage, with various impoundments such as Battley Pond, James Pond, and Usher Pond dotting the terrain.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the concentration of burial sites, including the Mount Moriah Cem, Oak Ridge Cem, and Tabernacle Cem. These sites, alongside landmarks like the Waymon Chapel Cem and Seal Cem, trace the history of the families who settled the sandhills and drainages of Marks Cr and Crooked Cr. The presence of Camp Pee Dee Pond Number Two further south indicates the land's transition into Marlboro County and its varied recreational and agricultural uses.
