About this map

Blakley Crossroads, Cauthens Crossroads, and Pitmon Crossroads serve as the primary landmarks in this landscape of the South Carolina Piedmont, where the boundary between Lancaster and Kershaw counties is defined by the winding course of Rocky Creek. The area is densely populated with small, family-linked burial grounds and church yards, including the Mackey Walker Cem, Hudson Cem, and Duncan Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research in this rural corridor.

Waterways like Camp Creek, Cedar Creek, and Gar Creek carve through the terrain, separated by ridges traversed by a network of local roads such as Campground Rd and Mable Anthony Rd. This survey documents the intersection of legacy rural settlements and historical religious sites, such as the Saint Paul Baptist Church Cem and the Gethsemane Church Graveyard, preserving the spatial layout of these communities as they exist in the early twenty-first century.
