About this map

The Broad River carves a winding path through the heart of this terrain, defining the boundary between Union and Chester counties. Much of the surrounding landscape is protected within the Sumter National Forest, a territory characterized by numerous drainage systems such as Brushy Fork Cr and Neals Cr. The small community of Neal Shoals sits near the river's edge, while Leeds and Wilksburg anchor the southern and northern reaches of the sheet respectively.

Genealogists will find several well-preserved family and local burial sites, including Thomas Cem, Sims Cem, and Glenn Cem. The infrastructure of the forest and rural landscape is evidenced by the Leeds Lookout Tower and a network of named tracks like Worthys Ferry Rd and McCool's Ferry Rd, which suggest the historic importance of river crossings in this part of South Carolina. Smaller water features like McDaniels Pond and Mineral Cr complete the complex local hydrology.
