1979 Map of Winfield

About this map

Germany Creek and its many branches like Little Germany Creek and Shiloh Creek carve through the landscape along the Columbia and McDuffie county border. This area is characterized by a high concentration of country churches and rural crossroads that anchor local history, from the northern settlement of Winfield near Sharon Ch to the southern reaches near Jones Chapel. The map documents the shoreline of Clarks Hill Lake in the northwest, where Raysville sits as a key point of access. Inland, the distribution of names like Ansley Mill, Scuffletown, and Stones Crossroads reflects an agricultural and community network that predates modern development, while the White Oak Campground near White Oak Ch points toward the region's recreational and congregational life.
