About this map

Jonesville serves as the primary hub of activity in this part of Union County, centered on the Southern railroad line as it was documented in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Fairforest Creek, Cunningham Creek, and Sandy Run which flow toward the Pacolet River in the northeast. Rural life is anchored by community landmarks such as Littlejohn Com and numerous churches like Fosters Chapel and Gilead Ch.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, from Mean Crossroads to the Prison Camp and County Home in the south. The terrain is marked by small impoundments like Whitlock Lakes and White Pines Lake, while the rail junction at Lockhart Junction highlights the importance of the timber and transport industries to the local economy during this era.
