About this map

Scape Ore Swamp dominates the central drainage of this Lee County landscape, a complex system of wetlands that shaped the placement of local settlements and infrastructure. Small communities like Manville and Rose Hill sit near the water's edge, while Hammetts Crossroads and Carters Crossing mark historic transit points through the low-lying terrain. The map records several legacy milling sites including Cedar Creek Millpond and McGirts Millpond, indicating a history of small-scale industry along the local creeks.

Modern recreational and social landmarks are visible, such as the Ashwood Raceway located near the intersection of several local routes. Genealogists can find the locations of Piedmont Cemetery and Whilden Cemetery, which provide clues to the family histories of this rural South Carolina district. The transportation network is a blend of residential developments like Country Manor Est and older corridors like Lucknow Rd and Denny Pond Rd, illustrating the transition of this area north of the interstate.
