2014 Map of Jefferson

About this map

Jefferson anchors the southeastern corner of this map, appearing as a developed town center at the intersection of Us-601 and SC-265. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Lynches River, which forms the boundary between Chesterfield Co and Lancaster Co. The area is notably dense with family-named landmarks and cemeteries, reflecting a long-standing rural community structure. Small settlements like White Plains, Five Forks, and Birdtown are connected by a network of local roads such as Takahaw Hwy and Ralph Hicks Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites, including the Miller-Lowery Cem, White Plains Cem, and Five Fork Cem. Historical crossing points along the river, like McManns Ford and Griffins Ford, indicate where early commerce and travel dictated the local geography before modern bridges predominated.
