About this map

Pinckneyville and the industrial activity at Lockhart anchor this survey of the Piedmont landscape where the Pacolet River meets the Broad River. This confluence area is marked by several significant historical sites, including a Historical Monument and numerous small country churches that served the rural population. The landscape transitions from the river valley into the wooded reaches of the Sumter National Forest, illustrating the varied land use between timber, agriculture, and industry.

Transportation corridors like the Southern railroad line connected these river towns to the broader regional economy. Outside the primary settlements, several smaller communities and landmarks appear, such as Bullock Creek and Mt Hopewell Ch. The map also captures the complex political geography of the region, showing the meeting of Union, Cherokee, York, and Chester counties at various points along the riverbanks and through the uplands.
