About this map

Kellehan Crossroads and the small settlement of Millwood anchor this survey of rural Williamsburg County, where the Lowcountry landscape is defined by its extensive wetlands and river systems. The Black River meanders through the center of the sheet, joined by various tributaries including Gumtree Branch, Jumping Run, and Spring Branch. This hydrology supported several early 21st-century impoundments, such as Sheppard Pond and Parsons Pond, while broader swampy regions like Ox Swamp, Camden Swamp, and Dry Swamp indicate the low-lying, often inundated nature of the terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can find family-named roads and landmarks, such as Spring Gully Cemetery and the community of Spring Gully. The transport network includes several state routes and specialized local roads like Hunting Club, reflecting the area's rural land use. Points of interest like Lower Crossing further illustrate how the local population interacted with the river-heavy landscape before more modern developments changed the character of these interior Carolina plains.
