2017 Map of Eastover

About this map

Eastover serves as the primary settlement on this landscape where the lower Midlands of South Carolina meet the expansive Wateree River basin. The geography is defined by a dense network of blackwater drainages and wetlands, including White Marsh Swamp and Wateree Swamp, which flank the river's meandering course. A notable topographic exception is Cooks Mt, rising above the surrounding lowlands near the confluence of Colonels Cr and the river. Numerous small impoundments such as Wilson Mill Pond, Murray Pond, and Goodwill Pond suggest a history of water management for local industry or agriculture. The road network, featuring names like Old Eastover Rd and Garners Ferry Rd, reflects long-standing transit corridors connecting the river valley to the regional interior. This survey captures the rural character of the area, where timberlands and small water bodies like Krelldire Pond dominate the terrain between the town and the county boundary at Sumter Co.
