About this map

Lynches River winds through this landscape on the border of Chesterfield and Lancaster Counties, shaping a terrain defined by many small tributaries and rural communities. In the late 1960s, the town of Jefferson served as the primary hub, featuring the Jefferson Sch and Jefferson Cem. The surrounding countryside is dotted with small family and community anchors, including Miller-Lowery Cem and churches like Hopewell Ch and New Testament Ch.

Industry and transport are represented by several claypits scattered across the quadrangle and a Railroad Grade running north from Jefferson. Smaller settlements such as Charlesboro and Biridtown appear as distinct clusters, while numerous family-named landmarks like Belk Hill and Plyler Pond provide essential points of reference for genealogists. The map also captures infrastructure of the era, from a Radio Tower and Golf Course near Little Fork Creek to the Filtration Plant south of town.
