2014 Map of Blakely

About this map

The Santee River corridor defines the southern boundary of this region, where the Williamsburg and Berkeley County line meets the dense woodlands of the Francis Marion National Forest. This 2014 survey documents a landscape of lowland basins and managed timber, punctuated by significant water features such as Wittee Lake and Dog Creek Flats. The settlement of Blakely sits in the northeast corner near the Seaboard Rd rail corridor, while the broader countryside is marked by smaller family and plantation landmarks. Genealogists may find interest in the documented locations of the Betaw Plantation Cem and Sutton Cem, which reflect the area's agricultural history. The transportation network is anchored by Santee Rd and Santee River Rd, connecting isolated farmsteads and ponds like Williams Pond and Billy Cox Upper Pond to the larger river system.
