About this map

Black Creek and its many tributaries, including Ham Creek and Cow Branch, carve through the sandy terrain of Chesterfield County. The landscape is defined by its numerous small water bodies and managed impoundments, such as Lake Bee, Lake Number Sixteen, and Martins Lake. Near the northern boundary, the Ruby Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the surrounding woodlands, while the Wild Irish Rose Airport provides a small aviation footprint in the rural countryside near Bay Springs.

Evidence of local history and family legacy is found in the placement of the Brown Cemetery and Cassidy Cemetery, located east of the central drainage. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the settlement of Middendorf and the nearby McKennon, where State Hwy S-13-62 intersects with a network of rural routes. Significant geological features like the King Sand Hills and High Rock offer clues to the unique physical geography of this part of South Carolina.
