About this map

Evans Mill and a network of historic millponds define this rural landscape in the northeastern corner of Chesterfield County. The terrain is a complex drainage system fed by Black Creek, which winds through the center of the sheet, supported by numerous named branches such as Panther Branch, Joplin Branch, and the curiously named Tan Trough Branch. These water sources historically supported local industry, evidenced by features like Steen Millpond and Rimes Millpond.

Family and community history are preserved in several distinct burial grounds, including Zion Cemetery, Old Mount Olive Cemetery, and Long Branch Cemetery. The landscape transitions from the higher elevations of Jumping Hills and Hebron Hill toward the many marshes and springs, such as Dismal Spring Branch. The presence of the Pageland Airport in the northwest corner highlights the modernization of transport in this otherwise traditionally agricultural and timber-oriented region.
