2020 Map of Jamestown

About this map

The Santee River forms the central spine of this landscape, serving as the historical boundary between Williamsburg and Berkeley counties. Much of the southern portion of the map is defined by the Francis Marion National Forest, where the settlement of Jamestown sits at a critical inland junction. The presence of the Leneuds Ferry Bridge highlights the long-standing importance of this specific crossing point over the Santee, connecting the upland roads like Lenuds Ferry Rd and Santee Rd to the river economy. Local genealogists may find interest in the documented rural communities such as Washington, Palmerville, and Singletary Forks, along with the Saint James Cem situated near the edge of the national forest. The terrain is characterized by intricate wetlands, including Grogler Swamp and the distinct Wittee Island, illustrating the complex hydrology of the South Carolina lowcountry.
