About this map

Jefferson serves as the primary hub in this corner of the Carolina Piedmont, where the Lancaster Co Chesterfield Co line meanders along the channel of the Lynches River. The landscape is a network of small family-named creeks and branches, such as Arant Br and Shop Br, draining toward the river through land crisscrossed by rural roads like Tory Rd and High Point Church Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, from the centrally located Jefferson Cem and Miller-Lowery Cem to more outlying locations like White Plains Cem and Blackman Cem. The southern portion of the map transition into a different drainage pattern near Birdtown, dominated by the waters of Flat Cr and Dry Cr. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring rural character of the region, where older land divisions and watercourse boundaries remain the primary geographic features.
