About this map

The Sandhills Game Land dominates this landscape, spanning the border of Hoke Co and Scotland Co. The terrain is defined by a network of watercourses including Drowning Creek, Little Creek, and Muddy Creek, which drain the sandy uplands. Settled life is concentrated along the southern corridor where the Southern And Laurinburg railroad line serves the town of Wagram and the community at Silver Hill.

Educational and religious centers are scattered throughout the rural landscape, serving as vital landmarks for family historians. From the Nashville Sch and Shaw School to numerous rural sanctuaries like Naomi Ch and Spring Hill Ch, the map reveals a social fabric woven into the countryside. Industrial history is represented by the Monroe Mill Pond on Juniper Creek, while family-named sites such as Oak Hill Cem and McNeill Cem provide essential data for genealogical research.
