About this map

Big Wateree Creek and its many tributaries define this late-1960s landscape along the border of Chester and Fairfield Counties. The settlement of Stover serves as a small focal point in an area characterized by scattered rural churches and family landmarks. Researchers focusing on local genealogy will find several congregations recorded, including Guest Assembly Ch, Aimwell Ch, and New Zion Ch.

A notable historical landmark, the Gold Mine Cem, sits in the northern reaches of the quadrangle, hinting at earlier industrial activity near Bull Skin Creek. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Little Rocky Creek, Wall Swamp Branch, and Scabber Branch carving through the terrain. This survey reflects the rural character of the South Carolina Piedmont just before modern developments further altered these historic land divisions and wooded creek bottoms.
