About this map

Kellytown and the surrounding coastal plain of the Darlington Co and Lee Co border are defined by a complex network of wetlands and small agricultural communities. The landscape is characterized by numerous Carolina bays, including Big Cypress Bay, Little Cypress Bay, and The Bay, which dictate the local drainage and road patterns. These oval depressions sit alongside watercourses like Sparrow Swamp and the Lynches River, creating a mosaic of saturated bottomlands and higher ground utilized for settlement.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family and community landmarks. Scattered throughout the quadrangle are numerous burial grounds, such as Westview Cem and Savannah Cem, alongside rural centers like Ashland and Lydia. The map also documents the transition from older sites like Segars Millpond to more modern residential developments near Kellytown, reflecting the long-term evolution of this South Carolina interior region.
