About this map

S Fork Edisto River winds through the heart of this rural Aiken County landscape, anchoring a network of tributaries and mill ponds that define the area's hydrology. The settlement of Kitchings Mill sits along SC-302, serving as a central point for a web of local roads named for families and landmarks, such as Bethcar Church Rd and James Shull Rd. The map reveals a land shaped by water management and recreation, featuring several prominent impoundments including Baughmans Mill Pond and Tylers Pond.

Aiken State Park encompasses a significant portion of the river valley, providing a protected corridor for the S Fork Edisto River and Aiken State Park Lake. Genealogists and local historians can find markers of the past in the Tyler Cem and family-named features like Sandy Island. Aviation history is represented by the Wexford Landing Airport, while the dense network of drainage features like Dear Swamp Cr and Burcalo Cr illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the South Carolina coastal plain.
