City Directories and History: Architect, Mr. Robert Mills was hired by the State of S.C. to create accurate maps of the state’s districts. In turn, he employed knowledgeable surveyors to survey the local areas, from which he created his finished maps of S.C., districts or counties. This resulted in accurate maps of roads, streams, and cities located in each. Click on the More Information / ENLARGEABLE links, (found under the picture column), for an enlargeable county map, a history of Robert Mill’s survey of S.C. counties, written by Gene Waddell in 1980, an index to the names listed on the maps, and enlargeable quadrants for conducting in depth research.
“Thomas Anderson, Deputy Surveyor, prepared the surveys of Edgefield and Barnwell Districts. Both of his manuscript maps have survived and are signed by him, and he is credited with having made both surveys in the Atlas. He was given an advance in May, 1817, for the Edgefield map and received a final payment for it in December, 1818. He was paid a total of $1,250 for surveying the 1,702 square miles of the district. His manuscript is highly exceptional in being water colored with blue for water, red for roads, and yellow for swamps. He was paid an additional $1,000 on 26 August, 1819, for his map of Barnwell (1,440 square miles). It is unusually detailed in that it often shows approximate boundaries of individual land holding; it was clearly based in part upon plats.
The Edgefield map was probably begun before the Legislature approved a change in scale because its scale is two miles to the inch (the scale of the Atlas maps). The Barnwell map has the new scale of one mile to the inch and so is twice as large as the published version and had to be reduced for it. In 1820 Anderson was probably a resident of Edgefield District, where two Thomases are listed in the Census of that year. He, like the majority of the surveyors, possessed a firsthand knowledge of the regions he surveyed.” Information from: Mill’s Atlas of South Carolina – 1825, Southern Historical Press, 1980
R&R has also taken individual county maps and created a list of their recorded sites, allowing R&R’s users, faster access to historic data. Each of the More Information links opens items connected to the Mill’s map of this county. The last four are those related to Quadrants 1-4. Names within each quadrant are listed below and at the bottom of the page, is an alphabetical list, of all names shown in Barnwell District, along with other counties in which the name also appears. Another excellent website to view the Mill’s maps is at Rumsey’s Maps.
