At Great Falls, halfway between Pinetree Hill and the Catawba towns, a rocky ridge partly closes the Catawba Valley. Above this point on the east side of the river from Camp Creek to Waxhaw Creek, the land is rolling but not rugged ... Between the two small streams lay the district called the Waxhaws, composed chiefly of the fanlike system of Cane Creek and its tributaries; the Waxhaw Indians, after whom it was called, abandoned it at the time of the great Indian war and went to the Catawbas.
