TLC Notes: The plat with the survey shows William Dorch's 445 acre tract as having eleven sides and lying on both sides of Cedar Creek. It is bounded to the southwest on Jacob Bethinies's land, north and northwest on Ben Sims land, northeast on A. Canady's land and southeast on Hoigood's land. Other adjacent land is vacant. The plat shows Cedar Creek flowing from the northeast to the southwest. There are two Cedar Creeks in Camden. The first is in Lancaster County, a tributary of the Catawba, or wateree, and flows mostly due west; however there is a short stretch that flows to the southwest. The other Cedar Creek is in southern Fairfield county and flows into Richland County before emptying into the Broad or Congaree River. It flows southwest most of its length.
