2017 Map of Bethune NW

About this map

The Little Lynches River meanders through the heart of this Kershaw County landscape, creating a broad wetland corridor that defines the local topography. This 2017 survey shows a rural environment where land use is dictated by the river and its many tributaries, including Beaverdam Cr and Red Oak Camp Cr. The settlement pattern is largely focused along corridors like Bethune Rd and Porter Rd, connecting the small community at Porter Bridge to the surrounding farmsteads. For those studying the area's local heritage, the map identifies traditional landmarks such as Bakers Millpond and several family or community burial sites, including Scotch Cem and Dubose Cem. The transition from the sandy uplands to the river bottom is evident in the dense network of named streams like Gully Br and Cow Br that feed into the central waterway.
