About this map

Fort Motte sits near the northern edge of this Calhoun County landscape, situated just south of where the Congaree River flows past the Congaree National Park Wilderness. The terrain is defined by a dense network of blackwater creeks and family-named ponds, including Halfway Swamp Cr and True Blue Cr, which drain toward the headwaters of Lake Marion in the southeast.

Transport and land use patterns are anchored by the Colonel Thomson Hwy and the Old Number Six Hwy, connecting rural settlements like Singleton and Wiles Crossroads. Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous established homesteads and landmarks, such as St Mathews Airport and several named water bodies like Wannamaker Cabin Pond and Reid House Pond, reflecting the long-standing agricultural and recreational character of this South Carolina Lowcountry region.
