2017 Map of White Oak Creek

About this map

The boundary between Lancaster Co and Kershaw Co cuts through this landscape of creek drainages and high ground north of Wateree Lake. The settlement of Flat Rock serves as a focal point near the eastern edge, surrounded by family-named landmarks like Thorn Hill and Ft Hill. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several burial grounds including Beaver Creek Cem, Saint Johns Cem, White Oak Cem, and Smyrles Cem. These cemeteries often signify the locations of early meeting houses or vanished community centers. The network of watercourses, such as White Oak Cr, Little Barfield Millpond, and Grannies Quarter Cr, illustrates the local topography that shaped road placements like Old Flat Rock Rd and John G Richards Rd.
