About this map

Pocataligo River and its intricate network of tributaries, including Pocalla Creek, Turkey Creek, and Briar Branch, define the low-lying terrain of this region south of Sumter. The landscape is a mosaic of wetlands and small rural communities like Lakewood, Pocalla Springs, and Brogdon. Significant for local history and genealogy, several burial grounds are scattered across the sheet, such as Bradford Cem and the Rock-Hill Church Graveyard.

The boundary between Sumter Co and Clarendon Co bisects the southern portion of the map, cutting through Sammy Swamp and Indian Bay. Human settlement follows the higher ground between the swampy basins, connected by a network of established roads like St Matthews Church Rd and Race Track Rd. The presence of several farm ponds and lakes, including Black Crest Farm Pond and Dogwood Lake, highlights the agricultural and residential development character of this South Carolina coastal plain landscape.
