About this map

Sumter National Forest dominates the northwestern landscape of this Fairfield County area, where the Broad River serves as a natural boundary between Fairfield and Newberry counties. The river's industrial character is defined by the Parr Shoals Dam and the nearby Powerplant at Parr, marking a significant hub for local power generation. The Southern railroad parallels the river's eastern bank, connecting small communities like Dawkins and Hope Station.

Historically, the region is dotted with numerous rural sanctuaries, including the Old Brick Ch and White Hall Ch, which suggests a community structured around small parish centers and family estates. The presence of the White Hall Sch and several family burial grounds like the Pearson Cem provides tangible points of interest for genealogists tracing the 20th-century inhabitants of Monticello and Jenkinsville.
