About this map

Black Creek and its many tributaries carve through the rolling terrain of Chesterfield County, defining a landscape of small-scale agriculture and timber in the late 1960s. The southeastern portion of the map is dominated by the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge, where the Jumping Hills and Tan Trough indicate the distinct sandy topography of the region. This area shows a pattern of rural settlement anchored by numerous community landmarks, including Nicy Grove Ch and the Old Mt Olive Cem.

Evidence of the local hydrologic economy is visible in several historic impoundments such as Graves Millpond, Steen Millpond, and Rimes Millpond. Transportation is facilitated by S.C. 9 and S.C. 265, which connect the agrarian countryside to the Pageland Airport. Scattered resource extraction sites, including various sandpits and claypits, reflect the geological character of the sandhills and their industrial utility during this era.
