2020 Map of Brogdon

About this map

Pocalla Springs and Lakewood anchor the residential landscape south of Sumter in this contemporary coastal plain survey. The geography is defined by a low-lying network of wetlands and watercourses, including the wide Pocataligo River and the sprawling Sammy Swamp at the southern boundary. These drainage systems separate small rural clusters like Britton and Brogdon from the more developed outskirts of the city. The map reveals the intricate interplay between human settlement and the natural hydrology of the region, where family-named sites like Bradford Cem and Marshall Cem sit amidst a complex of ponds and branches, including Dogwood Lake and Black Crest Farm Pond. This modern layer shows the continued significance of historical boundaries, particularly the Sumter Co Clarendon Co line that cuts across the river basin.
