2014 Map of Taxahaw

About this map

Fourty-Acre Rock anchors the central landscape of this South Carolina quadrangle, sitting amidst a network of rural crossroads and established family settlements. The map documents the persistent rural character of the region, from the northern hamlet of Buford to the southern community of Midway. Local history is embedded in the road names, including Oak Hill Church Rd and Palmer Lloyd Rd, which connect the small clusters of activity at Fork Hill Crossroads and White Bluff Corssroads. The presence of Mining Rd and Mineral Mining Rd north of Lick Cr suggests a history of local resource extraction. Waterways such as Wildcat Creek and Flat Cr provide the primary drainage for this area straddling the Lancaster and Chesterfield county line.
