2024 Map of Clear Pond

About this map

The Little Salkehatchie River meanders through the heart of this landscape, flanked by a dense network of wetlands including Brunston Swamp, Sutton Bay, and Ben Rice Bay. This area of Bamberg County is characterized by a high concentration of spiritual and commemorative sites, reflecting a deeply rooted local community. Genealogists and researchers will find numerous family-centric landmarks such as the James McMillan Cem, Mitchell Cem, and Folk Cem. Small rural congregations serve as central points for the scattered settlements, with Springtown Church in the northwest and Colston Branch Baptist Church further south. The settlement of Hughes sits near the southeastern corner, connected by Broxton Bridge Rd, illustrating a pattern of development where small-scale farming and timber interests are integrated with the various branches and creeks like Colston Branch and Indian Camp Branch.
