About this map

Mt Croghan and its surrounding rural landscapes in South Carolina's Chesterfield County appear here at the turn of the 1970s, characterized by a dense network of country churches and small agricultural communities. This 1969 photogrammetric study captures the transition of the land where the North Carolina and South Carolina border meets the Anson and Chesterfield county line. The area's social fabric is anchored by landmarks like Elizabeth Ch, Rock Spring Ch, and Ebenezer Ch, while the local economy is evidenced by Griggs Corn near Wexford.

Drainage systems define the topography, with Thompson Creek and the South Fork Deep Creek carving through the terrain alongside named landmarks like Buck Swamp and Long Pine. Small settlements such as Lowrys, Shoates, and Littles Quarters dot the crossroads, providing a detailed look at the rural settlement patterns of the Carolina Piedmont before modern suburban expansion reached these remote reaches.
