2014 Map of Lockhart

About this map

The Broad River and Pacolet River converge in this northern South Carolina landscape, creating a historical boundary where York, Cherokee, Union, and Chester counties meet. At the center of the river system lies Lockhart, situated along a bend in the river near Lockharts Upper Shoals and Lockhart Lower Shoals. For genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including the Bullock Creek Cem, Pinckney Cem, and the uniquely named Gist - Giles - Pinckneyville Cem near the settlement of Pinckney. Much of the southern terrain is dedicated to the Sumter National Forest, through which the Lockhart Hwy and Jonesville Lockhart Hwy provide transit. The presence of Loves Ford and Old Ferry Rd suggests longstanding river crossings that once linked these isolated rural communities across the shifting shoals of the Broad River.
