About this map

Hartsville and West Hartsville anchor this Darlington County landscape, where the urban grid meets the intricate wetland systems of the South Carolina Coastal Plain. The northern boundary is defined by Prestwood Lake and the meandering path of Black Cr, while the surrounding countryside is characterized by numerous bay features including Boggy Gully Bay, Dargans Bay, and Bees Wax Bay. This 2017 survey reveals a network of rural hubs such as Flinns Crossroads, Rosa Lees Crossroads, and Lees Crossroads, which serve as waypoints between the agricultural fields and the dense swamps of Boggy Gully Swamp.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several established burial grounds including Magnolia Cem, Greenlawn Cem, and Snowhill Cem. The influence of early milling and water management is evident at Harolds Millpond and through man-made features like Jeffries Ditch. The southern reaches transition into smaller communities such as Lydia and Oats, connected by a web of local roads and the drainage of High Hill Cr and Lake Swamp.
