About this map

The Broad River carves a deep path through the heart of this Piedmont landscape, forming the boundary between Union and Chester counties. Much of the western terrain is preserved within the Sumter National Forest, characterized by numerous drainages such as Browns Creek and Neals Cr. The river itself is punctuated by the Neal Shoals Reservoir, a significant water feature that anchors the central portion of the map. Evidence of early settlement and family legacy is found in several rural burial sites, including Thomas Cem, Sims Cem, and Glenn Cem, which are scattered among the wooded hills.

Transportation throughout the area relies on a network of unpaved and secondary routes, including the extensive Woods Ferry Horse Trail and named roads like Buck's Grave Rd. Small communities like Wilksburg in the northeast and Leeds in the southeast serve as local hubs, connected by a web of creeks including Brushy Fork Cr and Little Turkey Cr. The landscape remains largely rural and forested, reflecting its status as part of the national forest system.
