I am not familiar with the phrase "Great Wagon Road", and from your description cannot tell for sure where it is, and I do not see a Lee's Creek or a Little River near the Chester-Fairfield border. But there are three north-south roads which seem likely. 1) WEST - On the western side paralleling Broad River is SC Hwy 215, which I've always known as "the River Road". This road also roughly parallels a Little River in southern Fairfield Co. 2) CENTER - Toward the center of the counties is US 321. 321 cuts across SC from Rock Hill just south of Charlotte to Hardeeville just north of Savannah. It is paralleled by railroad almost the entire way, and there are many small "railroad towns" along the way that make driving it long distances very annoying. 3) EAST - US 21, from Charlotte to Coulmbia and beyond, parallels Wateree River as it runs through Chester and upper Fairfield Cos. I also checked a 1779 map of SC, no Great Wagon Road, but it shows "The Road to King Mountain" roughly midway between Broad and Wateree Rivers, which would most closely correspond to the current route of US 321. I don't know if it helps, but this is the best I can do without more clues.
