About this map

The Broad River carves a deep western boundary through this York County landscape, defining the character of the terrain between Worth Mountain and the water. This 2011 survey illustrates a transition from the river-bottom lands of Mud Island and McGowan Island to the higher-elevation settlements like Hickory Grove, which serves as a central hub for the local road network. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Piedmont, where Bullock Creek, Thicketty Creek, and Bells Creek weave through farm and forest land.

Local history is preserved in the naming of crossing points and smaller communities, such as Smith Ford and Irene Bridge. To the south and east, the settlements of Hopewell and Hoodtown represent the dispersed residential patterns common to this era. Civil engineering is noted through several specific water management structures, including the Mattox Pond Dam D-3421, highlighting the managed nature of the smaller waterways tributary to the main river valley.
