2011 Map of Kershaw

About this map

Kershaw serves as the central hub of this area, where a dense grid of streets radiates outward from the Kershaw Post Office and nearby rail corridors. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Lynches River and its numerous tributaries, including Haile Gold Mine Creek and Neds Creek. Local history is preserved in the grounds of Laurel Hill Cemetery and Hanging Rock Cemetery, while smaller rural settlements like Pleasant Plain, Midway, and Abney Crossroads anchor the surrounding countryside. Water management is a prominent theme throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by the City Reservoir and various family-named impoundments such as Taylors Pond and Baxley Pond. These features, along with crossings like Youngs Bridge, illustrate a long-standing reliance on local creek systems for both municipal supply and rural land use.
