About this map

The Little Salkehatchie River defines the landscape of this Bamberg County region, winding through a network of creeks and branches that historically shaped local settlement patterns. Small communities like Springtown, Hughes, and the namesake Clear Pond are connected by a web of rural routes such as Springtown Rd and Broxton Brg Rd. The area is notably marked by family and community landmarks, including the Odom Bridge crossing and several burial grounds like Mitchell Cem, McMillian Cem, and Folk Cem.

The hydrography of the South Carolina Lowcountry is on full display here, with numerous named tributaries like Indian Camp Br, Colston Br, and Lemon Cr feeding the river system. Larger water bodies such as Ocean Pond and Little Clear Pond provide further points of reference for those studying the physical geography or land ownership history of this specific quadrangle. The road names, such as Sunday School Rd and Tabernacle Rd, suggest a cultural landscape deeply rooted in local community institutions.
