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.
“John Allen Tharp surveyed Fairfield and for his work received $1,150. on 4 December, 1819. His original manuscript is clearer than most of the others because he differentiated waterways with watercolors and roads with dotted lines.” 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 scroll down, to the bottom of the page, to see an alphabetical index of names, from the Fairfield Co Mill’s map, showing names related to Fairfield Co., and other counties in S.C. Another excellent source of Mill’s Maps are on the David Rumsey website.
