Frankie, You may wish to look for a unique resource I have just discovered. It's called Mill's Atlas. Published in 1825 it was the first complete atlas of a state, I believe. My local genealogical library has a copy that was republished in 1980. It has foldout maps for each county or small groups of counties. These show all significant trails and waterways. I see in the online card catalog of my library that there is also an index to this atlas which was published separately and is called South Carolina waterways as they appear in Mill's atlas : including bridges, ferries, and fords / indexed by Mariam D.

The Chester District Genealogical Society has copies of the Mills Atlas map for sale for both Chester and Fairfield Counties. I have a Chester Map from them; it is about 22"x34" and lists a good bit of information about the county including some family names/locations. For readability, I would not get the 81/2" x 11" version. It is listed #13 on the Chester Page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~scchest2/scchesterinfo.html and an be ordered using the form available. The prices listed are still current Mike McGarity Chester Admin -----Original Message----- From: Bill Gordon [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2004 7:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [SCCHEST2] Re: Old Maps Frankie, You may wish to look for a unique resource I have just discovered.
