2024 Map of Fort Motte

About this map

Fort Motte serves as a central anchor for this area of Calhoun County, where the landscape is defined by the transition from upland ridges to the wetlands of the Santee River basin. The settlement patterns follow high ground, notably at Wiles Crossroads and Singleton, connected by a network of rural roads such as Fort Motte Rd and McCoords Ferry Rd. For those tracing local history, several prominent churchyards provide significant genealogical reference points, including Mount Pisgah Church & Graveyard and Saint Matthews Parish Church Graveyard. The northeastern corner of the map reaches into the protected wilderness of Congaree National Park, while the interior is drained by numerous streams like Warley Creek and Halfway Swamp Creek, feeding into larger bodies such as True Blue Lake and Holman Pond.
