About this map

The Pee Dee River carves a significant boundary through this landscape, dividing Anson and Richmond counties as it flows toward the South Carolina border. The rail-oriented settlements of Morven and McFarlan anchor the western portion of the map, situated along the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. This corridor is dotted with local landmarks of genealogical importance, including Galilee Ch, Ramah Grove Ch, and the Pleasant Hill Cem.

Industry and early settlement patterns are visible in the eastern and southern reaches, where the name Old Sneedsboro recalls a historic townsite near the river. Water-powered sites like Everetts Mill on Marks Creek and Brocks Mill in the south suggest the region's agricultural and milling heritage. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries such as Whortleberry Creek, Westfield Creek, and Whites Creek, which feed into the primary river system while crossing the state line into Chesterfield and Marlboro counties.
