Abbeville District
Colonial Plats Map
This
is a large file and should be downloaded using a high-speed internet
connection. You will need to scroll down and to the right with your browser to
get to the map. It displays the location of substantially all of the plats of
parcels granted by the British Crown prior to the Revolutionary War
in the portion of Ninety Six District later comprising Abbeville District and
County and present day Abbeville, McCormick and Greenwood Counties. Included
are the plats of Boonesborough, Hillsborough and Belfast Townships, and the
large parcels originally granted to William Livingston and associates.
The distortion in a few areas is the result of
imperfect photomerging.
The map has been overlaid with a grid of 5 mile by 5 mile sections, with
letters (along the top of the map) and numbers along the left side of the map)
assigned to each section. The index lists the grantees of parcels
alphabetically, and identifies the section or sections of the map in which the
parcel is located. Click here for the index. This map is the product of a collaboration with
Monte Hart, Eddie Humphries and Richard McMurtry, whose labors, advice and
assistance are gratefully acknowledged.
