2020 Map of Hartsville South

About this map

Hartsville and its surrounding countryside are defined by a complex network of wetlands and historic crossroads in this modern survey. The municipal core is anchored by Prestwood Lake on Black Creek, with residential expansion reaching into West Hartsville. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into a series of distinctive bays and swamps, including Dargans Bay and the extensive Boggy Gully Swamp. The distribution of rural settlements like Oats, Lydia, and Polson Crossroads reflects a long-standing pattern of community nodes situated between these water systems. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, such as Magnolia Cem, Greenlawn Cem, and Snowhill Cem, which serve as key landmarks for family history research in this part of Darlington County.
