About this map

The Little Salkehatchie River and its numerous tributaries, including Colston Br and Indian Camp Br, define this low-lying region of Bamberg County. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the South Carolina Coastal Plain, where the river's path is joined by distinct water bodies such as Clear Pond and Little Clear Pond, alongside specialized wetland features like Sutton Bay and Brunston Swamp. The settlement of Hughes serves as a small population center in an otherwise rural landscape dominated by timberland and agriculture.

Local history is preserved through the locations of several family and community burial grounds, such as Mitchell Cem, McMillian Cem, and Folk Cem. A network of unpaved and secondary roads connects these landmarks, including Odom Bridge and notably named routes like Sunday School Rd and Macedonia Church Rd, tracing a traditional Southern rural infrastructure that has persisted into the 21st century.
