“Heritage maps of Chester and York Counties, S.C.”
City Directories and History: (EDGEMOOR – LEWIS TURNOUT – LANDO – RODMAN – LEWISVILLE – RICHBURG – LANDSFORD – FISHING CREEK COMMUNITIES)
A collection of adjacent and overlapping historic plats – mainly from Chester County, S.C., diagramming the locations and geographic parameters of hundreds of family farms and grants of historic importance. These refined maps are the work of Chester resident and historian, Mr. Tom Mayhugh who graciously provided them for display and research on Roots and Recall in 2017.
Each is provided to and preserved on R&R to enhance local genealogical – historic preservation. As such R&R expects any use of theses to be credited appropriately! Click on each map title to reveal the plats for numerous sections of Chester County. Additional Mayhugh Heritage Maps are also available in Lancaster and York Counties.

Love the maps. I have learned a lot about my area. I have been at the county court house looking through a lot of deed books trying to find plats and names of people that use to live where I do now. I have found a metal wagon wheel, rail road spike, part of horse shoes and square nails. I know the land was known as Smith’s place Tract “A” part of the Smith estate and would like to know how big was the Smith place. It had been owed by John McFadden and then sold to the Marion family. The neighborhood is boarded by Old Richburg Road, McDanilel’s Branch Creek and Barber’s Creek. Are there any plats for this area in the 17 and 1800’s. John Marion bought it from John McFadden in 1885 but I can’t find plats to see if this is the same land I live on now. I think the area was boarded by Hicklin, McDaniel and Barber land.
Do you know if there are any plat maps for this area?

Take a look at: https://www.rootsandrecall.com/chester/buildings/2314-old-richburg-road/ as well as https://www.rootsandrecall.com/chester/buildings/union-arp-church/ (open the sites and read, the Union ARP page has an enlargeable map of Richburg by Mayhugh).

My Roden/Rawdon family lived in the Baton Rouge area outside of Chester. I am trying to find a map around 1790-1800 showing where they lived in relation to their neighbors the Wilks, Cornwells, and McCallums. Can anyone tell me where I might find these. Thank you.
