2011 Map of Foreston

About this map

Foreston and the surrounding Clarendon County lowlands are defined by the winding course of the Black River and the Pocotaligo River. In the early 21st century, the landscape is a mosaic of dense wetlands and managed water bodies, including Brewington Lake, Home Lake, and Martins Lake. Local history is anchored by rural communities like Wilson and Cypress Fork Crossroads, while the Foreston Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the area, where numerous streams like Broad Branch and Deep Creek feed into the larger river systems. Genealogists and researchers may find particular value in the location of the Brewington Cemetery near Brewington Crossing, providing a spatial link to the families who have long inhabited this riverine region.
