2014 Map of Bush River

About this map

Bush River and the Little River wind through a landscape defined by traditional South Carolina Piedmont agriculture and forestry in the early 21st century. The terrain is a network of ridges and creek bottoms, where small-scale water management is evident in features like Bedenbaugh Pond Number One and Sandhill Farms Pond. Evidence of the area's deep history is preserved in the Bush River Quaker Cem, a site reflecting the early religious settlement of this region. The map also documents the modern intersection of private and public land, with portions of the Sumter National Forest appearing alongside family-named holdings and rural infrastructure like the Sexton Airport and the Silverstreet Lookout Tower. The local road network, including the diagonal path of SC 560, connects scattered rural residences and the community of Mudlick.
