2017 Map of Camden South

About this map

Camden and its southern agricultural hinterlands are defined by the winding course of the Wateree River, which forms a complex series of bends known locally as Friends Neck, Gibsons Neck, and Belmont Neck. This 2017 survey reveals a landscape where historical industry and modern conservation overlap, evidenced by the large Hermitage Mill Pond and Boykin Mill Pond alongside more specialized features like the Retriever Training Pond. The southern portion of the map shows the boundary between Kershaw Co and Sumter Co, near the settlement of Boykin. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of the Quaker Cem, Jewish Cem, and Boykin Cem, while the inclusion of the Hermitage Mill and El Porvenir Airpark illustrates the varied economic and recreational history of the region.
