About this map

Kings Mountain National Military Park dominates the northern reaches of this map, marking the boundary between Cherokee Co and York Co. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Kings Creek and its many tributaries, including Jumping Branch and Manning Br, which drain the undulating terrain toward the Broad River. In the southwest, the Ninety-Nine Island Reservoir forms a significant water feature near the historic crossing of the Ninety Nine Ferry Rd.

Family history is deeply etched into the land through numerous small burial grounds such as Goode Cem, Dye Cem, and Mullinax Cem. Small settlements like Smyrna and Piedmont Springs serve as local hubs, connected by a network of rural roads such as the York Hwy and Old Yorkville Rd. The presence of landmarks like Jefferson Mtn and Mt Sinai Cem provides specific points of reference for researchers tracing the rural development and genealogy of this South Carolina borderland.
