About this map

The Pee Dee River carves a deep boundary through this borderland, separating Anson and Richmond counties in North Carolina and continuing south into Chesterfield and Marlboro counties in South Carolina. Along the western tracks of the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, the settlements of Morven and McFarlan serve as local anchors, connected by rural routes passing Galilee Ch and Ramah Grove Ch. The landscape is a network of water and early industry, evidenced by Brocks Mill on Little Westfield Creek and Everetts Mill near the wide expanse of Everetts Lake.

A significant historical marker on this map is Old Sneedsboro, situated on the western bank of the river. This site, along with several rural cemeteries like Pleasant Hill Cem, provides a window into the established settlement patterns of the mid-20th century. Numerous tributaries including Whortleberry Creek, Marks Creek, and Westfield Creek drain into the Pee Dee, defining the undulating terrain of this interstate region.
