2011 Map of Stover

About this map

The small settlement of Wellridge anchors the northern reaches of this Chester County landscape, where the rural character is defined by a dense network of watercourses and family-named homesteads. The terrain is bisected by the Little Rocky Creek and Stover Creek systems, which flow toward larger water management projects in the south. Significant hydrological engineering is visible through the Wateree Creek Conservation District Reservoir and a series of numbered watershed structures, including Wateree Creek Watershed Structure Number Two and Number Three. These features reflect modern agricultural and flood control efforts in the Piedmont region. For those researching local history, several burial grounds are scattered throughout the area, such as the Gold Mine Cemetery and Richmond Covenanter Cemetery near the community of Stover, providing valuable points of reference for genealogical study along old roads like Hopewell Church Rd and McDonalds Farm.
