About this map

Lilesville sits at the heart of this landscape, where the traditional topography of Anson County meets the industrial and natural features of the Pee Dee River basin. The map reveals a significant water-driven and extractive economy, evidenced by the expansive Blewett Falls Lake and the complex of basins including B V Hedrick Sand and Gravel Lake and Bonsal Company Lake. These large-scale water features contrast with the historic rural settlements of Gravelton, Pee Dee, and Cairo, which are connected by a network of state roads and family-named routes like Grover Bennett Rd and S G Walls Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Battle-Lindsey Cem to the Cedar Creek Meeting House Cem. The terrain is anchored by Clark Mtn in the north, while Big Island marks the river boundary between Anson and Richmond counties. Numerous tributaries, including Smith Cr, Island Cr, and Jones Cr, create a dense network of drainage flowing toward the river, illustrating the historic hydrology of the region.
