About this map

Long Cane Creek and its many tributaries, including Pickens Creek and Miller Branch, carve through the rolling Piedmont landscape at the border of Abbeville and Greenwood counties. The area is defined by small, dispersed rural settlements such as Donalds, Shoals Junction, and Arborville, connected by a network of local routes like Mock Orange Road and Old Shoals Junction Road.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of the Old Gilgal Cemetery and Gilgal Cemetery, located south of Arborville. The southern portion of the map transitions into the protected lands of the Sumter National Forest, while the northern reaches include the outskirts of Ware Shoals and Due West. The distribution of family-named roads and remote burial sites reflects the long-standing agricultural and forestry traditions of the South Carolina upstate.
