2014 Map of Fairfax

About this map

Fairfax and Brunson anchor this South Carolina landscape, where the local economy and settlement patterns are defined by a network of rural crossroads and river crossings. The terrain is marked by significant wetlands, most notably the wide reach of Caw Caw Swamp to the east and the Coosawhatchie River which flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Historic named junctions like Richardson Crossroads and Brandon Crossing reflect a long-standing agricultural and transportation grid that connects smaller hamlets such as Dukes and Pond Town. Along the corridor between the primary towns, smaller landmarks like Halls Mill and Lovetts Crossing provide specific points of interest for those tracing family history or local land use. The presence of Rail Road Ave in Brunson and the naming of local routes like Old Salkehatchie Hwy and Buford's Bridge Hwy suggest the importance of these thoroughfares in the region's development.
