About this map

Sumter National Forest dominates the central portion of this South Carolina landscape, where the intersections of historic rural roads define the social geography. Small, longstanding communities like Sheppard Crossroads, Mayson Crossroads, and Sullivan Crossroads are situated along the ridges between numerous drainages, including Cuffytown Creek and Turkey Creek. This network of local thoroughfares, such as Scotts Ferry Rd and N Martintown Rd, connects a series of traditional sites and burial grounds that are vital for family history research.

Notable for its concentration of church-related landmarks, the map identifies several distinct cemeteries and graveyards, including Bailey Bethel Church Graveyard and Pleasant Lane Church Graveyard. In the northern reaches, the community of Pittsburg sits near the headwaters of Mount Carmel Branch, while the settlement of Limestone serves as a focal point in the southeast. These named places and water features like Log Creek and Mountain Creek illustrate the enduring pattern of settlement and land use in this part of the Piedmont.
