2014 Map of Storys Millpond

About this map

McBean Cr flows along the boundary between Richmond and Burke counties, carving a landscape defined by an extensive network of ponds and minor tributaries. The settlement of Grove Mount sits centrally in this coastal plain environment, where water management is historically evident through features like Storys Millpond, Goldberg Pond, and Stockton Pond. This 2014 survey serves as a vital resource for genealogists, as it meticulously documents family-named burial sites including the Rachael Tucker Cem, Walker Scott Cem, and Gresham Cem, alongside the Bines Slave Cem. The lower half of the map is dominated by the meandering path of Brier Creek, which is spanned by Walkers Bridge. This area exhibits a transition from rural residential clusters to a more complex drainage system, reflected in the names of numerous small branches such as New Hope Br and Walnut Br.
