1967 Map of Mount Pisgah

About this map

Lynches River carves the northeast boundary of this landscape along the border of Kershaw and Chesterfield counties, anchoring a rural region defined by small agricultural settlements and a network of country churches. Small-scale resource extraction is evident through numerous Claypit and Sandpit sites scattered across the terrain, while the local economy is further represented by water-dependent sites such as Raley Millpond and Minton Mill. The settlement pattern centers on community nodes like Mt Pisgah and Midway Crossroads, with a high density of religious and burial sites including Crossroad Ch, Sandy Grove Ch, and Stroud Cem. In the western portion, a Lookout Tower stands near Buffalo Ch, overlooking the drainages of Buffalo Creek and Little Buffalo Creek as they move through this part of the South Carolina sandhills during the late 1960s.
