About this map

McColl and its surrounding agricultural lands straddle the border of Marlboro County, South Carolina, and Scotland County, North Carolina. This landscape is defined by its intricate drainage network, where Gum Swamp Cr and Beaverdam Creek move through a low-lying terrain marked by historic mill sites such as McLaurins Millpond and McNairs Millpond. The map reveals a high density of rural crossroads and family settlements, including Masons Crossroads, Adamsville Crossroads, and the village of Tatum.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites like McLaurin Cem, Newton Cem, and Lytch Cem. The northern section of the survey shows the residential growth of Laurinburg and the nearby Scotch Meadows community. This 2017 edition documents the persistent rural character of the region, where older farm roads like Old Stage Rd and Preacher Mc Manus Rd continue to connect long-established communities across the state line.
