About this map

The Catawba River winds through this South Carolina landscape, serving as a boundary between York and Lancaster counties. To the west, the outskirts of Rock Hill show a growing infrastructure of industry and education, including a Filtration Plant, Sewage Disposal facilities, and the County Tech Ed Center. The Southern railroad creates a transit corridor through the countryside, passing the small community of Lesslie and the Hillcrest School.

Rural life is anchored by a dense network of country churches and family-named landmarks. Features like Kingdom Hall Ch, Rock Grove Ch, and Mt Zion Ch represent the social fabric of the area in the late 1960s. Meanwhile, the terrain is defined by numerous watercourses such as Manchester Creek and Sixmile Creek, which feed into the Catawba near Goat Island. Landmarks like the Lookout Tower near Lesslie and a Drive-in Theater on the Rock Hill edge provide specific points of interest for local historians.
