About this map

Lake Moultrie defines the eastern boundary of this South Carolina landscape, where the low-lying terrain meets the expansive waters of the reservoir. The interior is characterized by a network of rural settlements such as Cross, Moorefield, and Moss Grove, which are connected by established routes like Old Highway 6 and Ranger Dr. This area reflects a traditional settlement pattern typical of the South Carolina Lowcountry, with small communities clustered around crossroads and family-named landmarks.

Local history is preserved through numerous rural burial grounds, including Zion Cem, Friendship Cem, and Mt Olivet Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The geography is further shaped by several bays and ridges, such as Beech Island Bay and Layton Ridge, while the Lesesne Airport and the waters of Lawson Pond add modern and natural variety to the predominantly wooded and marshy landscape.
