About this map

The Pee Dee River carves a dominant path through this borderland region between North and South Carolina, defining the landscape of southern Anson County. The settlement of McFarlan serves as a local hub west of the river, while the site of Old Sneedsboro recalls a historic river-town era along the banks. Water power and land use are central to the area's development, evidenced by established landmarks like Everetts Mill and Brocks Mill.

Genealogists can find important family and community records at Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Brocks Mill Cemetery. The map details numerous water features, from the natural flow of Whortleberry Creek and Westfield Creek to man-made impoundments like Nelson Lake and Everetts Lake. Notable river landmarks, including Stag Rock, Horse Island, and the churning waters at Gordons Falls, highlight the varied character of the Pee Dee corridor in the early 21st century.
