About this map

Greeleyville sits at the edge of a landscape defined by the serpentine course of the Santee River and the expansive wetlands of the Coastal Plain. The southern border of this region is a complex network of oxbow lakes and river bends, including Broad Lake, Franks Lake, and Cahusac Lake, which illustrate the shifting nature of the river's path over time. Moving away from the river, the terrain is characterized by a series of "bays" and swamps, such as Butlers Bay, Buck Bay, and Hog Meadow Swamp, interspersed with drainages like Doctor Br and Mount Hope Swamp.

Transport through these lowlands is marked by a grid of rural roads and county routes, such as Co Rd S-45-48 and Pompey Town Rd. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of the Keels Cem provides a point of reference for family history research. The presence of named pools like Doctor Hole and Little Lake suggests long-standing local landmarks within the river bottomlands where Clarendon and Williamsburg counties meet.
